I grew up in Hawai'i, quite a while ago now, before TikTok or whatever got everyone under 30 to steal "y'all" from black people.
One time I was hanging out with like 15 people at school and one of the new girls said, in her essentially normal sounding General American/Ohio/Generic accent, "hey do y'all have any lip balm?"
Literally every person froze, fell silent, and turned and looked directly at her. After about 5 solid seconds a girl said "WHERE... ARE YOU FROM." She was so fucking weirded out, darting her head every which way, "uh.. uh...S-S-South Carolina, I-"
Ha yeah "guys's" isn't super normal for me but it's also not that abnormal- due to the lack of "y'all" some people say it. Many people prefer to say " guys' " or "I need all you guys to" etc.
This thing says I'm from New Jersey.
I'm southern. I say y'all.

Yeah it's just a normal word to me. The term that does make my ears perk up is "your guys's." Like "hey I'll need your guys's help later"
