"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. —Μετάknowledgediscuss/deeds 04:38, 14 April 2017 (UTC)
