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!

Get the Tomboy mug.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."

Get the Tomboy mug.by Coochiemane69 June 7, 2020
Get the Timboe Technique mug.A gay man who plays the role of a female and/or bottom in a relationship who isn't outwardly effeminate as a stereotypical "Camp Gay". Very similar to a tomboy in terms of interests/personality/style. Generally a 50/50 on if people can tell if they're gay or not due to a more masculine or unisex way of dressing and acting, yet still enough femininity to signal their preferences.
A: "Is Harry gay? He kind of comes off as it"
B: "I think Harry is a Tomboy Gay, so he likes men, he just isn't flamboyant"
B: "I think Harry is a Tomboy Gay, so he likes men, he just isn't flamboyant"

Get the Tomboy Gay mug.On Fifa 11, a player who is unable to score no matter how hard he/she may try. He/she usually gets close but ends up missing in a frustrating/laughable manner.
Player 1: I need to score! I need to score get me the ball!
Player 2: Okay here it comes your wide open you better not miss!
(Player 1 shoots, hits the crossbar and the defender kicks it out)
Player 2: HOW DID YOU MISS THAT!?
Player 3: WTF MAN!?
Player 1: Sorry guys.
Player 4: That guys a Spinning Timbo.
Player 2: Okay here it comes your wide open you better not miss!
(Player 1 shoots, hits the crossbar and the defender kicks it out)
Player 2: HOW DID YOU MISS THAT!?
Player 3: WTF MAN!?
Player 1: Sorry guys.

Get the Spinning Timbo mug.A timbo is a sexual position unparalleled in greatness. It occurs when a man is lying down on a bed and a woman mounts his member. She then places a firm grip on an above-hanging ceiling fan, as the fan spins, the woman will spin also. She maintains intercourse while spinning, which causes extreme pleasure for both parties.
Yo me and my girl were going at it all night long. I hit that shit doggy style, missionary, but when she grabbed that ceiling fan for the timbo, I couldn't hold back and popped right in that.

Get the Timbo mug.A girl who behaves like a boy. Most of the time has more friends who are boys than girls. Would rather play soccer than go shopping.
I'm a tomboy. I have 2 friends who are boys and 1 friend who is a girl. I never braid my hair, and I only tied it back a few times. I climb trees and camp out.
