Reply To: "Boy," "man," and "guy," "single," "married," and

Shopping & CT, I don’t think I ever heard anyone say gal or bananot. I think I’d be insulted if they did. When referring to a group of girls, you could say “guys” depending on the context, but it doesn’t work for one girl. In some contexts, it won’t work for a group of girls either. Actually, it only works for a group of girls in the second person, as in, “Hey guys, look at this!” but not in third person, as in, “I saw some guys I know.”
