The person you should listen to the next time you get an idea to take over someone else’s holiday. She’s the only person who makes any sense in this insane asylum.
“Bumpy sleigh ride, Jack? The next time you get an idea to take over someone else’s holiday, I’d listen to Sally! She’s the only person who makes any sense in this insane asylum!”

Get the Sally mug.A sally is a work client that makes things harder than they needed to be. Annoying nancies that want everything "the customer's way", FOR FREE, and take up WAY TOO MUCH of your time and attention at work. They are often constantly worried that you are not fully focused on completing their project that you got roped into that seems to avoid all sense and logic because it changes every time you talk to them. Won't just put down on paper what they need, insisting upon in-person meetings or phone calls, never simple zoom calls or emails.
Me: Hey Rick, how's work going with the new client?
Rick: It's taking forever, and I still have no idea what they want. I think I have a sally.

Get the Sally sour puss mug.This is the real definition for a Sally Boy. It's the original definition used for a ship hand.
I'm sorry everyone, sally boy was not originally meant to mean a homosexual or an effeminate male. The word "Sally" came from the word salay. Salay boy is a cabin boy, steward, ship hand, etcetera. Their job is to help maintain the ship and assist each other (if there's more than one aboard the ship), the sailors (and pirate sailors), officers, cooks, the captain, any co-captains, and the first mate (who is also a co-captain). They also assisted the passengers on the ships as well.
The dress style back then may have seemed effeminate due to the time period and dress style at that time (prior to current dress style used by sailors in the merchant marines and other garb with by sailors from other localities). These boys (adolescents)/men (unless they were new to the job as an adolescent) were treated as men and respected as men for their jobs (no offense to the women, we all know the superstitions back then; unless a woman tricked or was allowed to trick the sailors and Captain ;) and became a Salay Boy). They are very important individuals on any ship.
The derogatory term that is used today, is from a difference in dialects. It's the clothing that I'd assume is the reason for the term being used to wrongly discriminate against someone and to treat someone badly due to being different by societies norms.

The Sally boy (salay boy) was sent to get aide for someone that is hurt and to look for someone who is missing on the ship they work on.
