baby boy

"A man who is immature or infantile." (And if it's real, does it need a derogatory gloss?) Equinox ◑ 08:08, 30 December 2016 (UTC)

This one is a real challenge, because there are so many hits for the male infant or toddler, and then the term of endearment, but I did find the following:

• 2001, Jet - Volume 100, page 63:

  Tyrese stars as Jody, a misguided young Black man who is really just a "baby boy" finally forced to face the commitments of real life.

• 2009, Craigh Barboza, John Singleton: Interviews, →ISBN, page 129:

  Says the director: "They've all been raised by women, so they're always trying to show how much of a man they are when they really are baby boys. They have nothing going for them."

• 2011, Jackie Collins, DEADLY EMBRACE, →ISBN, page 207:

  "I have to sit in a class full of baby boys. Don't you hate baby boys?" "What're baby boys?" "Boys who don't know anything about girls," she said vaguely.

I'm sure there are others, but there are so many false positives to wade through. Kiwima (talk) 19:10, 30 December 2016 (UTC)

• RFV passed. I added a context label as Eq. suggested. —Μετάknowledge^{discuss/deeds} 04:38, 14 April 2017 (UTC)
