Well-regarded, trusted friend Urban Dictionary

A young male, normally quite funny, sarcastic, and has the best suppy of "sick" (sex related) jokes. Boys are simple just guys who are normally really cool to hang out with, this is of course before they change... some become a "man" (a word I hate, not what it means, the spelling) which is a boy who cares and is still fun. Others become a "pimp" or a boy who thinks that he is cool because he has lots of girls and lots of other who want him (pimps usually haven't been laid and love to talk about it like they get it every night). Also others become "jerks" who use girls/woman and have no regard to there feelings, often found saying "what did I do?!". Still others stay boys as the mature and I think these are the best type because they are not quite a serious as a "man", are not as cocky as a "pimp", and not nearly as mean as a "jerk". Thses kinds of boys are very hard to come by, luckly I have one friend just like that. Not my boyfriend, but one of my best friends Fruit Loops. Thanks for staying a boy.... Urban Dictionary
