Besides, ‘my dear boy’ would be the British vernacular, as a variant of the older era ‘my dear chap’.  (I am American through & through.)  I think that you have me confused with someone here on c.l.a who is British.  I don't use the word boy to refer to anyone older than about 12 years old, and then not as a form of address.
