In South African slang, "boet" means a close friend, brother, or mate, and is commonly used as a term of familiarity and affection between men. It is widely used in informal South African English, especially in Afrikaans-influenced speech, where it functions both as a literal reference to a brother and as a general term for a trusted friend or "buddy." The term comes from Afrikaans "boetie," meaning "little brother," which was shortened in everyday speech to "boet" and expanded in usage to refer to close male friends in general.
