Homeboy
Wikipedia:
Homeboy, a slang term meaning "friend".
Homie (less frequently, homey), is a contraction of the American slang word "homeboy" which became prevalent among some of the youth in the African American and Latino communities starting in the late 1960's and continuing up to the present, particularly in the hip hop subculture.
Another common contraction of the word homeboy is homes (sometimes "holmes").
An interesting historic musical footnote is the use of the word "homie" by Ella Mae Morse in the original hit version of the classic song "House of Blue Lights" in 1946. At the beginning of the song she says, "what's that homie?" to Freddie (Freddie Slack, the writer of the song). Ella Mae Morse was white (born 09-12-24 died 10-19-99).
