The word "Nancy-boy" is a postwar term for a homosexual male. It is a softer word than faggot, queer, or dick-smoker. "Nancy-boy" is synonymous with "that way," meaning light-in-the-loafers, but harmless and not at all threatening or predatory.
Your brother is sure a Nancy-boy. His house is just beautiful, and he keeps a wonderful yard. His pug dogs are cute too!

a nancy boy can cover three different people but the top one is the most important term.
1. a very feminised man (the original meaning)
2. but today it's used as a term for a gay guy too.
3. it can also be used to describe a boy on the transition to a girl.
it's most used by the British and the phrase most likely originated from either Manchester or Liverpool.

"The charge was elevenpence, but it was a dark, evil-smelling place, and a notorious haunt of the 'nancy-boys.' Downstairs, in the murky kitchen, three ambiguous-looking youths in smartish blue suits were sitting on a bench apart, ignored by the other lodgers. I suppose they were 'nancy-boys.' -Chapter XXIX, Down and Out
