...guy (especially in North America).

Hm but what if it's a female? You don't call a girl a guy, do you?

Claudya:

Well, actually; yes, you can, especially in North America, unless the word is being used with another feminine word or context, to differentiate the genders (as in: 'the cosmetics section of the store is over there; the guys might prefer to go someplace else').

For example, if you go to a restaurant in a group including several women, it's not unusual for the waitress to call them 'you guys'.
