The proper spelling of the Newfoundland slang “B’y”
July 30th, 2009
There was some debate todate as to the proper spelling of the word b’y. Any good geek will look up the real answer to any debate so here I am.
The Dictionary of Newfoundland and Labrador spells it “b’y.”
b’y {pronounced: BY} ~ 1. a young male person, a boy. 2. any male person regardless of age. “Have another piece of the cake, my dear, the b’ys are working”
