Hi All,
Could you please let me know whether the sentence is correct?.
Question: A boy who roams with girls is called as Playboy - Is that right?
Thanks,
VTS
Roams does not work there for me at all.
Yes - 'playboy' has a wider meaning than that.
(Collins)
- a man, esp one of private means, who devotes himself to the pleasures of nightclubs, expensive holiday resorts, female company, etc
I googled it and apparently the word "playboy" meant boy actor (play+boy) in the 17th or 18th century. Of course, Hugh Hefner made it so famous in the 20th century.
