The opposite of a tomboy.
A boy who likes to do stuff that are ''feminine'' Instead of playing sports and getting dirty, he likes to go shopping at the mall and try on clothes that can be girly.

Tomgoolrr by Axle Hates Zucchini August 21, 2023
A more appropriate word to describe girls who are rugged, sporty, NOT overtly girlish or frilly and less interested in clothes, makeup or remaining clean and pretty while playing.

Girls who play hard and are willing to get dirty and even rough, often playing in and doing typical boys activities, even though WE"RE NOT BOYS! We just know how fun it is to play like a boy ;) . But calling a rugged, street savvy girl a 'tomboy' negates her uniqueness as a non-traditional female. This way that is still honored but recognizes her tough, sporty ways.
"I was a real tomgirl as a child; complete with a boys bike, hotwheels and short hair."

"She's a total tomgirl, she just loves rough-housing in the dirt, chasing and playing hard with the boys without a worry for herself or her clothes!"
