This. Nothing to get offended over.


I didn't say I was offended. I asked what it meant.


It bothered you so much that you came up with some stupid line about a princess costume...


A bemused observation is not being offended.

OK. And? You don't think DCUM. Discusses the same stuff every day? Don't read this thread if you don't want to discuss this topic. Problem solved!


It's also a "duh" question.

Means they're energetic, exuberant, sporty - stereotypically "boyish." How is this even a question?

Talking to a neighbor today, he said his son is "all boy" several times. Like, oh he likes to kick that ball...he's all boy! He likes to play in that toy car...he's all boy! He likes to find sticks...HESALLBOY!!!!

The oddest part is, my DD was right there, doing all these things, too. The kids were playing together, doing pretty much the exact same things.

So what do people mean when they say that? Do you fear that a princess costume will overtake your son in a dark ally if you don't utter that phrase every time Little Jimmy plays with Hotwheels?




When people say "He's all boy" they mean "I didn't teach him to be like a stereotypical boy -- apparently it's innate."
