boy, male teenager
BOY
Boy
A boy is a young
male human (usually
child or
adolescent), as contrasted to its
female counterpart, which is called a
girl; thus in the wide sense of both terms all mankind, and in the strictest sense youth, can be seen as the complementary pair 'boys and girls'. The term "boy" is primarily used to indicate biological
sex distinctions, cultural
gender role distinctions or both. The latter most commonly applies to adult men, either considered in some way immature or inferior, in a position associated with aspects of boyhood, or even without such boyish connotation as age-indiscriminate synonym. The term can be joined with a variety of other words to form these gender-related labels as compound words.
