English Idioms from A-Z

Boy Toy

The idiom "boy toy" is typically used to describe a young man who is attractive and is often used for pleasure or entertainment by an older woman. It is a slang term that is commonly used in informal settings, such as among friends or in pop culture.

The term "boy toy" is often used to describe a younger man who is in a relationship with an older woman, and who is seen as being used for his looks, charm, or sexual appeal. It can also be used more broadly to describe any young man who is seen as being used for his physical attributes or entertainment value.

For example, if a group of friends are discussing a celebrity couple where the woman is significantly older than the man, one might say "Oh, she's just using him as her boy toy." This implies that the woman is only interested in the man for his looks or entertainment value, rather than for a genuine emotional connection.

It's important to note that the term "boy toy" can be seen as objectifying and disrespectful, particularly towards men. It's best to use this term with caution and only in appropriate contexts where it won't be offensive or hurtful.
