what closeted gays call their crushes because they are too scared to come out. Usually they slap each others asses and do gay things. Homies are gayer than gay people
The one person who will bail you out of jail when you killed eight of the zoo's wild chimps in a drunken rage because 'those fat ass heiffers owed you money'.
A "Homie" is another term for Close Friend, or Best Friend. Homie is commonly used by people from East Coast and West, mostly in urban areas and cities, and people who are fans of Rap and Hip-hop. Anyone can use this word, but it is often depicted as a "African American" word, or "Gangster Slang".
Someone who is even better than a best friend, who's always there for you no matter what, and who understands you almost as well as you do yourself. And screw that "it's short for homosexual" crap you see on here. And it don't mean anything less just because white people use it too.
ninja can also be used the same, along with holmes.
homie number one: "my homie is the only person who doesn't judge what i do or say"
homie number two: "that's 'cause i'm your best ninja"
