garçons

Parisian café servers

Garçons is the plural of garçon, a French word meaning boy or waiter.

In English, it appears mainly in the exclamation Garçon! to summon a waiter in a French restaurant—a usage now considered dated or pretentious.

The phrase les garçons sometimes appears untranslated in fashion contexts, as in Comme des Garçons.
