There's a big difference between being called boy and boy boy.
Boy is an endearing term typically used by close friends to acknowledge your presence, as a greeting or to give you support. Common usage includes "Hey boy", "Take care boy" and "You go boy!". Boy boy, on the other hand, is a term that your grandmother normally use to beckon you over and give you a pat on your head because she thinks that no matter whether you are 2 or 20, you are still a baby... even if you have convinced her that you can spell "ecnecseloda" backwards.
Why am I so particular about these two terms? Well it's because I cut my hair recently and a couple of people commented that I look like a boy boy -__-"
