		<summary type="html">&lt;p&gt;New page: In the mid-1990&amp;#039;s, the boy in a friendship between a &lt;a href=&quot;/en/Boy&quot; class=&quot;mw-redirect&quot; title=&quot;Boy&quot;&gt;boy&lt;/a&gt; and a &lt;a href=&quot;/en/Boylover&quot; title=&quot;Boylover&quot;&gt;boylover&lt;/a&gt; was often referred to in conversation as a &amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;boy&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;.

&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;New page&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div&gt;In the mid-1990&amp;#039;s, the boy in a friendship between a [[boy]] and a [[boylover]] was often referred to in conversation as a &amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;boy&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;.  This term was used in such manner as &amp;quot;I am visiting my boy on Saturday.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This usage could be mistaken as referring to a son, and by the late 1990&amp;#039;s many began to feel the term also implied ownership or possession of the boy in question.  Due to these problems, the developing synonym [[young friend]] (YF) saw increasing adoption and the former usage of &amp;quot;boy&amp;quot; largely disappeared by the early 2000s.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It should, however, be noted that in present usage, phrases such as &amp;quot;my boy&amp;quot; have not lost all currency but rather have changed in meaning. The existence of the term YF has allowed such phrases to have a connotation that emphasizes closeness rather than simply expressing that a boy is one&amp;#039;s friend.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Echoes of the former usage remain, perhaps, in the term [[loved boy]].&lt;br /&gt;
