Unhandy title, I know...
My lady beta reader had a remark about my use of 'boy' between two youths of similar ages. My MC, who is twenty, said to his 2 years younger friend: 'Go your own road and prove him wrong, boy.' She found this strange.
Ofc I can change it in 'mate' or anything like that, but is the use of 'boy' is really unusual in English?
