tomboy

A girl who's not fucking afraid of spiders. She doesn't care if her hair's not perfect, she uses cozy clothes (bras especially) rather than the latest fashion and she hangs out with boys instead of bitches. She knows how to fix your car but not how to apply the perfect eyeliner, she loves wrestling in the rain but not walking in high heels. She thinks twice before putting a skirt on, then thinks again and goes for jeans instead. Her closet's full of black and blue clothes instead of pink and she sleeps in an old t-shirt. She's always herself.
I'm a straight girl with messy hair and a funny sense of humor. I ride a black motorcycle, I love climbing and kick boxing and I'm probably better at card tricks than you. I'm a tomboy.

Tomboy

A tomboy is a girl who acts and dresses like a guy. They usually wear men clothes but occasionally they'll dress pretty just for the hell of it. Such as myself. I give my mother the liberty to see her daughter dress as a woman. (It's a lot of work...). Anyways, they aren't afraid to get a bit dirty. I cant really say what all Tomboys are into because we are all different. Although I myself like to be able to lift heavy objects and do things that a man does even though the men around me don't approve of it because I'm a female. I also cannot say that we are all fearless and are brave but I would probably say that the majority of us are.

Tomboy

A girl that acts more like a guy, isn't afraid to get rough and dirty, typically wears boys' clothes or really anything comfortable, usually found hanging around boys, doesn't hate girls but most of the time isn't fond of their crap, would rather wrestle than gossip, and doesn't care about what anyone else has to say about her, but rather what she has to say about herself.

Tomboys usually get their boyish personalities when they grow up around boys, such as an older brother, a neighborhood full of boys or even having only been raised by a single dad.
Girly Girl: Ew, look at that girl. She's such a boy! And she's just doing it for the attention!
Other Girly Girl: Ugh, yeah! And look at her! Hanging around all the boys! She's just playing them! I'm soooo much better than her.
Tomboy: So what?
Me: I'M STILL A ROCKSTAR!

Tomboy

A term that has almost completely disappeared from use as result of the excessive gender individualism that has become so pervasive in Western (especially American) youth.

The term "tomboy" is used to describe a masculine girl or a girl who behaves in ways that are more closely associated with that which would be expected of a male. Despite this masculine behavior, the tomboy is still a girl. Due to the polarization of gender roles and behaviors ironically caused by the social push for gender variance, no one can be a "boyish girl" or "girlish boy" anymore. Now, you're either one or the other (or none, apparently). As such, the term "tomboy" rarely sees use anymore.
8-year old boy: "I like trucks."
8-year-old girl: "I like trucks, too!"
*they play together*

Adult observer: "Those boys are so adorable."
Other adult observer: "You mean 'that boy and that girl'?"
Adult observer: "No, they are both playing with trucks. Only boys play with trucks."
Other adult observer: "Perhaps not everyone has to perfectly fit into gender expectations to still be considered their biologically-correspondent gender?"
Adult observer: "But only boys play with trucks."
Other adult observer: "She can be a girl and like trucks. It's not against the rules to be a tomboy."
