HOMEY
Originated as a
Black American synonym for 'man', taken from the French word for man/men,
HOMME (pronounced 'ohm' ). It is unclear if the mispronounciation was intentional originally. Then,became misheard or the origin misunderstood, by both blacks and whites. For example: 'Holmes',
'Homes', 'Homeboy', etc...

Example:
"There are two people in my neighborhood who are good homies. Whenever I'm bored I just pay them a visit, 'cause they always welcome me. Sometimes one of'em takes me to see her
other friends; they're
good people too. Some do drugs, but they're nice to me and that's all
I care about."
