In a word, double plurals are redundant. Plus, they’re
wrong. Guys are already multiples. Guyses adds nothing but error to the

“What do you guys
think about it?”
Ah. That’s better.
“What’s your thought on it, guys?”
That’s OK too, but only if the whole group of guys share but
one thought. But that raises another question altogether.
“Hey, guys. What do
you think about that?”
