In spoken English, 'yous' is a great word :)

I just say 'you two' or 'you guys' to try and remain grammatically correct.

(and more importantly avoid sounding all muzza haha)

Hahaha, it does have the muzza effect I admit.

Sometimes I do it just to piss my English Language friends off :P

I don't see anything wrong with inventing solutions to fill in language inadequacies.

Ending a sentence with a proposition is something up with which I will not put.

Lady: We at the network want a dog with attitude.  He's edgy, he's "in
        your face."  You've heard the expression "let's get busy"?
        Well, this is a dog who gets "biz-zay!"  Consistently and
        thoroughly.
Krusty: So he's proactive, huh?
  Lady: Oh, God, yes.  We're talking about a totally outrageous
        paradigm.
 Meyer: Excuse me, but "proactive" and "paradigm"?  Aren't these just
        buzzwords that dumb people use to sound important?
        [backpedaling] Not that I'm accusing you of anything like that.
        [pause]  I'm fired, aren't I?
 Myers: Oh, yes.
