Homeboy like "Homie" is an English language slang term found in Westcoast American urban culture, whose origins etymologists generally trace to Mexican-American Spanglish from the late 19th century, meaning a male friend from back home, close friend, or someone gang affliated.

The epitome of a friend. Somebody you kick it with. A person who always has your back. You can't go through life without a homeboy. It's hard to have more than one, because they're one in a million.
