An abbey boy, as Mr. Bill Crittenberger once said, is a person who gives back into his community more than he takes from it. To clarify further, a community includes both the domestic community of the student and their school which is thought of as a second home for them. The components of being an abbey boy include working vigorously, studying even more vigorously, having a passion for extracurricular activities only surpassed by their passion for learning, and living,working, and praying with the monks daily in order to become closer to God, learn more about our plane of existence, and to depart on a challenging journey to find the reasons of why things happen. Each abbey boy's personal definition changes much over time too though, starting at being a bright boy, and eventually sprouting into being an exceptional young man, making going to St. Anselm's Abbey School one of the most transformative experiences known to man.
That boy is so courteous; he gave me his seat on the Metro, almost as courteous as an abbey boy.

A barking abbey boy is a boy from barking abbey who is always sagging and acts all hard in school. Outside of school, there mum still buys their trousers so they aren’t really the road men they think they are.
