    do you like the word boi? i think it's cute. i like to be identified as a boi. my website also has a boi word on it. boi is also slang term for a male bottom (which i am), or a butch lesbian. some people use boi regardless of sexual orientation, just because they think the word is cute. boi nicks include: brooklyn_boi, legalboi, downtownboi and of course cutie_boi, which i like the most. are there any bois on empty closets?

    To quote from Wikipedia:

    I'm kinda in the goth subculture myself, and I've never noticed its usage, so I think the typical meaning is conflicted. However, I like the meaning though - I know people who could possibly be described as bois, and they're quite cute.

    I don't really mind the word, it's a bit... I dunno, I think Avril Lavigne ruined it, to be honest.

    It can, depending on who's saying it really. Often, it's just sms-speak for boy.

    I've only ever seen or heard of "boi" as a BDSM reference (to a bottom, as mentioned above). In fact, as I understand it, someone originally changed the spelling of "boy" in order to avoid yahoo and similar's group search filters from finding and closing down BDSM and related type groups.

    That said, I have absolutely no problem with the word, but be advised that 99% of the general populous will probably think that you are, in fact, into some form of BDSM or master/slave relationship, and that 99% most assuredly includes me.

    I've personally never heard the word "boi" be used to refer to anything other than a cute way of spelling "boy".

    I loathe the spelling "boi." As far as it is a "cute" version of "boy" used by young gay guys, it was popularised by XY magazine, which I also hate for a variety of reasons.

    But yeah, I think it's just way too overly precious plus in the plural it's the French word for "wood." Which would be more funny if I couldn't stand it in the first place.

    Ditto, and I've thought that flamboyant and trendy gays tend to use it.

    Boi seemed more of a chavvish way for them to spell Boy on msn. Never knew it had anything to do with the goth culture lol

    Wow. I'm totally ignorant. I just thought that's how ghetto people say boy (no offense to ghetto people here)

    Example:
    "Yeaaah, boi." (okay, terrible example, but meh)

    I dunno, the term boi has always annoyed me. I guess it seems a little immature, or maybe I just don't see what's wrong with just using 'boy.' It seems like trying too hard to be cute.
