HI BOY

I am currently listening to 'Come On Over' by Christina Aguilera.
Why does she call the guy 'boy'? Is that his name? You know:
'So boy, won't you come/ We can party all night long...'
If some guy sang a song about me (god forbid I hope no one ever does, as it is very likely the word 'SHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHIT' will probably be involved) and they just called me girl, i would smack then around the face with an ironing board.
Not that I want to be called horse or something instead of girl. Just you know, not to be called it in the context of it replacing my name.

Oh, the song is over now. Thank you God.
