Very colloquial: “guy,” “bloke,” “chap.” Often friendly or neutral, but can sound a bit rough.
The standard neutral word for “man.” More exact and general than slang like “dude.”
Old-fashioned or regional: “young man,” “lad.” Can sound playful, affectionate, or a bit dated.
Means “boy” or “young guy” in terms of age. Not the same as “dude,” because it usually refers to youth.
