b-boy

In contrast to popular belief, the TRUE definition of a b-boy is not simply just a male breakdancer. The main difference between a breakdancer and a b-boy is that a breakdancer is one who uses the hip-hop art form known as breakdancing to get chicks and/or to show off to his friends that do not know shit about breakdancing or perhaps anything about hip-hop in general; in contrast, a b-boy is one who expresses himself through breakbeats (beats that b-boys can break to) using various combinations or sets of breakdance moves such as:
-toprock
-uprock
-downrock (e.g. 6 step)
-freezes (e.g. single hand baby-freeze)
-power (e.g. flares)
-airtracks (e.g. UFO)

A true b-boy will add his own style to these various sets. These sets are innovated by b-boys through rigorous dedication and practice during "session" or breakdance practice. Any set that is “taken” or “copied” from one b-boy by watching another b-boy/b-girl is called a “biter”.

A real b-boy will break anytime, anywhere, and any day, when challenged or "called out" by another dancer or b-boy/b-girl in a "battle". In many cases, a b-boy will encounter a dancer or another "b-boy/b-girl" that is "straight up whack" or simply disrespectful, in which case a b-boy will wish to "serve his ass". But in many cases, a battle between a b-boy and another dancer or b-boy, will have both sides showin' much peace, love, respect and even props.

Simply put, a b-boy is one who encompasses the essence of hip-hop through “the dance” or "b-boying". Thus, most b-boys think that krumpers are just plain whack.

b boy

the b in b-boy stands for Break, in the 70's when there was a 'break' in a song (which is when there is no vocalisation and just the rhythem) that was when the dancers would get down and do thier thing, the boys that danced on the 'break' were called b-boy same for the girls 'b-girl'

Gazzer B Boy

the term Gazzer B Boy/Gazzer (for short) is the english teacher of ur dreams if he was a soundcloud rapper. an absolute whopping genius. a bit of a nonce, may or may not have a secret sex chamber in the narnia of the cupboard at the back of his room. the kind of Man who knows when and where people have lost their virginity. quite strict, doesn't care if ur grandad died after ur parents got into a car crash on their way to save your pet dog from being exploded by your 3 y/o sister cause he still expects ur homework regardless. would rather let you piss yourself in your seat than lend u a potty pass halfway through his lesson. has favourites and will choose a variety of them girls EVERY. SINGLE. LESSON. will stick his middle fingers up at ur class to demonstrate what an "obscure action" is. sais the n-word in To Kill a Mocking Bird just for the impact or dramatic effect of it. and last but certainly not least, he looks like hitler.

in conclusion, everyone needs a gazzer in their life.
