a homie is someone who you consider a friend, but in a way that is between a best friend and a regular friend. for example if you have 3 or more best friends you hang out with often, they would be your Homies!
An excuse to be gay toward another individual, the meaning of this slang has become pointless nowadays since every Homie-user wants to have a "straight" act while being gay, no its just means you are fruity homeboy
> blame twitch culture for tarnishing the meaning of it
in the words of Chad Warden "You know who play that shit .. gay niggas"
