13 de sept. de 2016 · The reason why I am asking this is that I have heard many fellow Indians of mine use "guy" to refer to a person who is above 50 or perhaps above 70. I personally think that it's just a synonym for "lad" which is assumed to be a boy whose age is 20 or below - i.e, teenage (13 to 19)
11 de sept. de 2005 · guy NOUN 1. informal a man: he's a nice guy. My answer to your question would be that in current general usage the lower age limit for calling any one man a guy is about the mid-teens, but that it depends largely on the age of the speaker: At age twenty-four I would rarely call any one male under the age of 17 a guy, and I would be unlikely to use the word for a man over the age of, say, 40.
19 de abr. de 2008 · Girl 1: "We went window shopping, but I kept myself from buying anything." Girl 2: "You go, girl!" I actually have never heard the saying "you go, guy," but if I did it would have the same type of meaning. In fact, if guys are using it there is a very good chance they are making fun of girls who say it. Guy 1: "Dude, we clobbered them in b-ball ...
18 de nov. de 2007 · Spanish. Oct 31, 2009. #8. Guy would be translated into Spanish as "Chico", not "Tío". except in informal language, "tío" would sound derogatory, rude. tío= bloke, mate, guy (in some cases) the word equivalent for girl (not female child) in the males, is guy, and it is not rude as tío and tipo usually is.

23 de may. de 2009 · Newcastle, Australia. English - Australia. Oct 3, 2012. #29. lad, chap, guy, bloke, character. In Australia, I've only heard lad as part of common sayings like "he's a likely lad." Chap would only be heard on old British sitcoms. Guy is fairly common, often used to refer to a man whose name you don't know. e.g.
28 de mar. de 2022 · Colorado, USA. English - USA (Colorado) Jun 3, 2015. #1. I am writing a book and I have been trying to find a derogatory term for "white guy" or "white man" in Colombian Spanish. In Mexico I have heard the term "gabacho" but that word is unknown in Colombia. I know "Norteamericano" is the proper term, but I can't use the proper term.
30 de nov. de 2013 · I use "Typ" and "Kerl" quite frequently. I don't necessarily mean someone young, but it totally applies to young people, too. Calling someone like that to their faces is somewhat impolite. You might do it if you're reproaching them for something. Sometimes, "Kerl" is used admiringly, as in "Was für ein Kerl!".
26 de jul. de 2010 · Hi forum. I thought fun guy and funny guy were interchangeable, but today some people told me they're not. So I want to ask if they're same in most situations?
8 de mar. de 2016 · No, it's because "that" or "the guy" is the subject. English does not differentiate between direct and indirect objects in declining pronouns: "I hit him." "I gave him the book." Well I must admit that I don't remenber what declinig pronouns are but my question was if the construction "is that the guy whom you called?"
19 de jul. de 2012 · I got to boogie" are two repeating lines of I Love The Nightlife by Alicia Bridges -- a song that is well known as a worldwide disco hit that featured prominently in the movie Priscilla, Queen of the Desert. Why A would say B is a guy, however, I don't know. Alicia Bridges has been openly lesbian since she was a teenager -- but not a gay icon ...
