Boy, Gee, etc are interjections. They mean as an expression of surprise, pleasure or disgust.
Like, "Boy, what a big fish!"
"Boy, are you in big trouble."
"Oh boy! Would you take a look at that!"

Boy was he glad to be out of school today! Boy, is he handsome! In these Boy is used as an exclamation, not specific to gender. Liek....Boy, she sure is pretty! But, this is an older saying. I've never heard anyone use it in real life, only in older movies....and definately in "The Andy Griffith Show"
