Who gives a ****? Just say "some scum" or something and you won't have to worry about talking to anyone after long enough.

Machine plays good tracks in plug but I'm not sure they know what they're talking about.

If it's someone's preference then why does it ****ing matter? You seem to have been led astray, miss.

See this just looks so much weirder than just saying "he doesn't know what he's talking about". This might be subjective, but it also feels vaguely insulting. Like I said they or them really only works in unidentified situations beyonf that he/his or she/her is all you need.
