Any way to determine where the post is from? Different countries can use different English terminology particularly if English is not their first language. Also the language changes with time and at different rates in different countries.

Boyfriend could mean literally a male friend, a buddy, with no sexual connotations.

After all in GB a *** is a cigarette and in Australia a mate is a male acquaintance. Historically a ****** was a burning piece of wood and Gay used to mean happy!

Gee I see that the the system censored me for words that the dictionary still lists the old meanings for!
