Definitions
1
A boyish lesbian — younger, softer-edged masculine than 'butch', more skater-and-snapback than old-school stone. Chiefly a UK read. The respelling does the work: 'boi' signals it's a queer identity, not just a haircut.
“She's a boi, not a butch — beanie, baggy jeans, baby face, the whole look.”
