How would you punctuate the following sentence:
&mhellip; listening to come on's from guys only interested in getting into your pants.
Do I need to add the extraneous quote mark, or should I drop it entirely, 'cause it looks entirely wrong without it?
I grew up with the understanding it was "come on's." However you're correct, the few resources I've checked have it as "come-ons."

It's:
Come on now, you gotta be kidding.
But:
I heard that come-on a thousand times. Don't you know any other come-ons?
According to Webster, it's hyphenated — come-on — and the plural is — come-ons.
That's what I thought, but it's not the typical hyphenated word (and adjective phrase). Thanks, that's a logical choice.
