HOMIE

Homie

Homie is an English language slang term found in American urban culture, whose origins etymologists generally trace to African American Vernacular English from the late 19th century, with the word "homeboy" meaning a male friend from back home. The words have also had similar use in Latino and chicano communities in the United States, starting in the late 1960s/early 1970s and continuing up to the present. As slang terms, the words have come to have variations in meaning, depending on local subcultures in a region, without the stability provided for dictionary-defined words. The term has also been traced to military slang.
