If you

were a parent, and were to say “come here boy” to your kid instead of “come here Joey ” (if Joey is the boy’s name) and didn’t call your child by their name, it would be referring to them in the third person instead of their name, it would be like saying to your Mum, “hey woman come here” or to your father, “hey man come here” or even for example your dog has the name “kyle” and you call out “hey dog

In society it would be socially (socially) strange to call someone boy if they knew them personally, but if you don’t know the “boy” or “girl” or “person”, you can call them as such! Or, if

you “non”, the “girl” can call them “boy” or “girl”
