I originally thought about “and everyone in between”, but it does not sit well with me.
Listen up shitheads!
Sir and madmans?
Just say “hi, everybody!”
Hi, Dr. Nick!
I’ve used “Hello Kings, Queens, and In-Betweens!”.
“Folks” is good if you aren’t in a very casual environment.
Skip it and use “esteemed guests” or something
“Good evening folks.”
“Good morning everyone.”
Etc.
Includes everyone without being cumbersome. Less is more.
Bitches, bros, and non-binary hoes!
I’ll use that in my next work presentation. Will report back to let you know how big my raise was.
The King Falls AM podcast uses “Guys, Gals, and Nonbinary Pals” if you want a version that HR won’t hit the panic button over.

At a renaissance festival I once saw a performer begin her act by addressing the crowd
Ladies and gentlemen, and people too amazing to be constrained by the gender binary…
This is the one!
Removed by mod
“Distinguished guests” or something along those lines
Saves two syllables over “ladies and gentlemen” as well, even before you add the secret third thing.
This one is top notch
Edit: hit enter before I finished typing ☠️
To quote Kelly Mantle “Ladies and Gentlethems”
“and those unaffiliated”
“Theydies and gentlethems”
So this is how perfection looks, hm?
and the ones affected by that new … eh… thing.
