Yea I have never understood this "boy" issue. My friends called me boy and I called them boy back the day. I never thought of it as a sign of disrespect on either side. Just a cut up word. Context has meaning for a reason.I have been pushed down that road myself. I have only ever had one issue with anyone of color. And he didn't like that I used the word boy. Not referencing him mind you. I just used it in phrases like "Boy I really like that" which equates to "Man that's cool" for a more current example. And before anyone posts about what that word means to black males, that's just the way I grew up speaking with everyone. That was 40 years ago and I don't think I have used 'boy' the same way since.
Boy howdy, you just nailed it!Yea I have never understood this "boy" issue. My friends called me boy and I called them boy back the day. I never thought of it as a sign of disrespect on either side. Just a cut up word. Context has meaning for a reason.
