boy (2746 words)
In sports 'the boys' commonly refers to the team mates; e.g., UK football managers quite often refer to their players as "The boy so-and-so" and this usage is by no means restricted to the youngest players, though it is rarely applied to the most senior.
Expressions such as "boys will be boys" (i.e., a male always retains a tendency for boyish games or mischief) alude to stereotypically ascribed characteristics of boys and men; in the term tomboy, a woman's (according to the counterpart-gender stereotype) uncharacteristically bold nature is even described solely by comparing her to a boy.
Boys, in the strict or a wider sense, are often informally referred to by analogous or metaphorical terms.
