garcon
Parisian café employee
Garçon is French for boy or waiter.
In English, it appears mostly as a way to summon a waiter in a French restaurant, though doing so is considered rude in France itself.
The word retains its French spelling with the cedilla, though *garcon* without the accent is common in casual English text.
