Definitions
Filipino slang for a man who actively pursues, flirts with, and courts multiple women — somewhere between a charmer and a player. A chick boy isn't necessarily malicious; in Filipino culture, the term can be used with grudging admiration for someone who has game and knows it. But it's also a warning label: if your friend is labeled a chick boy, you know he's unlikely to commit anytime soon. The phrase blends English loanwords in the distinctly Filipino style of code-switching.
All the girls in the office knew he was a chick boy the moment he walked in on his first day with that smile.

(Philippines, slang) A flirtatious man.
Chick boy means: A flirtatious man.. It is mainly Philippine English and may not be understood outside that context. There is no real cause for parental concern; it is descriptive vocabulary rather than risky behaviour. If your teen uses it, context will usually make the intent clear. A short, curious question about where they heard it is usually all that is needed to know whether to follow up.

Filipino slang for a serial flirt or habitual womanizer — a guy who is always charming women, juggling crushes, and turning on the smooth-talk. A chickboy thrives on female attention and often has multiple girls on the go without being fully committed to any of them. In Filipino pop culture, the term is used with a mix of exasperation and amusement. It's not necessarily a vicious insult — sometimes it's just a lighthearted warning to watch out for that particular guy.
