A pangender-inclusive word used to describe a group of two or more people who may have varying genders, or whose genders may not be known at the time of use. The word rejects the false assumption of cisnormativity and prevents gender stereotyping in the idiomatically gender-biased English language.

Native or intoxicated Polish-American English speakers may interchangeably substitute the colloquial and gender-insensitive phrase "you guys" with the proper, gender-sensitive term "burris".
Gender-sensitive: "Hey burris, I'm going to drink heavily and throw axes tonight! I love Poland."
Colloquially: "Hey you guys, I'm going to drink heavily and throw axes tonight! I love Poland."
