Boyish

BBC Three has acquired a US dating show, FBoy Island. 

Pronounced on air as 'eff boy', it's shortened version of 'f*ckboy'. The word has evolved over the years - first perhaps used in 1950's US prison slang for a catamite, by the 1990s it was more used as a synonym for 'loser', perhaps even 'pathetic loser'. 

In the 2000s, the Urban Dictionary defined it as both 'prison bitch' and 'a disposable male f*ckbuddy'. In the 2010s, it was used as an alternative to 'motherf*cker'.  By 2014, it was rising in use on Twitter, meaning 'asshole, jerk, poser'. 

But in 2015 Vanity Fair noted a move in the Lothario-direction, redefining one as "a young man who sleeps with women without any intention of having a relationship with them or perhaps even walking them to the door post-sex."

So that's all good, then...
