Slang LGBT word for a masculine-presenting person

Boi (plural: bois) is slang within gay male and butch and femme communities for several sexual or gender identities.[1][2] In some lesbian communities, there is an increasing acceptance of variant gender expression, as well as allowing people to identify as a boi.[3][4][5] The term has also been used, independently of any meaning related to sexuality, as an alternate spelling for boy.[6]

Usage

In the LGBT community

The term boi may be used to denote a number of other sexual orientations and possibilities that are not mutually exclusive:[7]

A boyish lesbian. [8]

A submissive butch in the BDSM community. [9]

A young trans man, or a trans man who is in the earlier stages of transitioning. [9] A younger bisexual or gay man who may have effeminate characteristics. The term can also be used by anyone who wishes to distinguish from heterosexual or heteronormative identities.[9] Boi may also refer to someone assigned female at birth, who generally does not identify as, or only partially identifies as feminine, female, a girl, or a woman. Some bois are trans or intersex people.[10] They may be gay or queer.[11] Many trans bois are also genderqueer/nonbinary (in itself a trans/transgender group), or might identify as cis persons or trans men, and yet practice genderfuck in which they do not fit in either masculine or feminine binary gender presentation. Bois may prefer a range of pronouns, including "he", "she", or nonbinary and gender-neutral pronouns such as "they".[12]

Usage in Suffolk dialect

in the Suffolk dialect, the term boi is often used as a familiar term (similar to British mate) for male (and more rarely female) friends. It can be used for anyone, with a Suffolk son just as likely to call their father boi as a Suffolk father calling their son. In practice, the pronunciation is not an enunciated "boi" but more like "buh" or "bor."

Usage in popular culture and meme culture

One of the earliest usages of the term boi was with the rapper Big Boi.[13] In the early 2000s the term came into usage within skateboarding culture.[6] The term came into popular culture again with the song "Sk8er Boi" by Avril Lavigne.[14] The term came into meme culture with the Dat Boi meme: an animation of a frog on a unicycle usually accompanied by the caption "Here come dat boi. (O shit waddup!)"[15]

What does roaching mean in dating?

Coined by AskMen, roaching is when a new partner hides the fact that they are still sleeping around with other people, generally something that may happen early on in the relationship.

glamourmagazine.co.uk - Forget ghosting, roaching is the latest dating trend here to haunt us

Dating is a minefield at the best of times, but this has only been amplified during the pandemic. While we may still be in lockdown, unable to go on any physical dates, we’re still being ghosted (left on read), stashed (never meeting their loved ones) and submarined (when they suddenly cut all possible ties). Luckily for us, there’s a new dating term on the horizon with a truly terrible name: roaching. Coined by AskMen, roaching is when a new partner hides the fact that they are still sleeping around with other people, generally something that may happen early on in the relationship.

What is Roaching?

Roaching will likely happen before you have the ‘talk’. You know, the one where you decide to be ‘exclusive’ - not yet a proper couple but not seeing anyone else. If, during that talk, you find out your lover has been sleeping with others at the same time without telling you then you, my friend, have been roached.

As its moniker suggests, roaching comes from the theory that when you see one cockroach, there’s a lot more cockroaches that you don’t see. Charming, isn’t it?

While roaching isn’t too possible right now thanks to social distancing regulations, you might still be talking to someone, thinking you’re the only one they are talking to, and you find out they have a bunch of other chats on the go. There is still hope for dating in 2021, however. Dating apps like Tinder, Bumble and OkCupid have reported an uptick in their users mentioning the words ‘vaccine’ and ‘vaccinated’ - and with 15 million people in the UK already having had their first vaccination, we could be back to dating IRL again very soon.
