A girl who acts like a guy or enjoys doing male things.

Another OpinionA tomboy is a young girl, normally pre-teen and/or early teens, that likes to play like a boy, does not act like a guy, she's just not ready to be a young woman and she usually finds the restraints placed on girls stiffling. I should know, I was one of them. I never "acted like a guy" and I did not enjoy "doing male things". I was very active in sports and didn't like to wear frilly dresses, apparently that made me a tomboy, at least that was the label placed on me by adults. I liked boys but they treated me as one of the guys, not my choice, theirs. "Tomboy" is a term that means a girl who doesn't like dressing up and playing "girly" games like dolls and house, but likes to do things like climb trees and play sports and dress in pants. Really, girls can do all of that sort of thing without being tomboys, but it's an old-fashioned slang term that has stuck around in our language. Most girls have times when they like to do "girly" things and times when they like to be "tomboys."
