Can the word girl and woman be used interchangeably ?

When my father was about my age we were having lunch in a diner and he said something about that "girl" over there. The only female I saw was the waitress, who was about his age. I eventually figured out a "girl" is anyone your age or younger.

Not really.

A girl is a prepubescent child. A woman is an adult. It's often demeaning to refer to women as "girls".
