The "real" meaning of the term "Tomboy"???

Home More advice General Knowledge

Hey. I've always been one to think that "tomboys" are simply girls who act like the stereotypical idea of how a boy should act, wear clothes that stereotyipically belong on boys, etc., but lately I've been hearing talk about how not many people really know what a true tomboy is...I just wanna know, before I really offend somebody--what's this "true definition"? Is a True Tomboy a girl who has a guy's haircut, feels uncomfortable wearing "girly" clothes, etc.??? That's what I'm starting to think this "true definition is...but I'm NOT SURE...
