Nancy boy is a slang term that appeared in early–mid 20th-century English to describe an effeminate or unmasculine man, often emphasizing softness, delicacy, or a lack of traditional masculine traits. The term combines the feminine name "Nancy" with "boy" to highlight perceived femininity in a male. Historically, it was derogatory, used to mock, belittle, or insult men who did not conform to gender norms. Today it is largely historical and considered offensive if used outside discussions of vintage slang or queer history.
