A word of greeting amongst typically, but not exclusively, male Chavs, Townies and
Scally's. Derived from the mispronunciation of the word 'boy', it is often used multiple times in the same sentence. It is most commonly used in a
friendly manner, although when the enevitable eruption of tension and/or violence occurs between members of the community(ies) to which it belongs, it will be replaced, ironically, with the word '
mate'.
