Calling your male friend boyfriend is gay if you are a male, so is friend unless you are defending them. Homey is more appropriate, so is Potna.

The slang of the "hood". Most of this terminology comes from movies and music. "Homey" is short for "home boy" which was used by LA gangs to describe fellow gang members. That term will be replaced by something else soon. Usually "Prisoner Number XXXX.

Because they are what you just said, boys. Us older guys call our friends by their names. Hey Joe or whats up Steve. Homies is a stupid title that young knuckleheads use.

When you think of "home" you think of family. So they are homies because they are like family. When they chill together it is just like being home cause they hold it down for it other kind of like brothers. Many people have shortened it from homies to homes.

it's just a phrase really. different types of people have different things. I just call my friends "man" or i say friends when im referring to them. they don't use boyfriends because they're afraid that makes them sound gay.

Guys just aren't comfortable being open with their feelings. Especially younger guys. Some men get better about it when they get older. Unfortunately, my husband isn't one of them. :)
