garçon
Parisian café employee
Garçon is French for boy, used in English primarily to summon a waiter: Garçon, another bottle of wine!
The usage sounds affected or ironic to modern ears, evoking old Hollywood depictions of Parisian cafés.
In actual French restaurants, calling out garçon to staff is considered rude.
