        Shame on you young they. Do two - no three - laps around the gym.

        I made an attempt at the plural form of "young man" or "young lady". "They" is bad grammar but "you young them" is a mouthful.

        Edit - problem solved.

            That'll work. And I'll do what I almost never do - use a emoji for tone.

            "Shame on you youngster" as only text makes me sound like a unironic boomer.

              Other options include "young one" if you want to feel like a wise and ancient tree or "youngling" if you want to feel like a Jedi
