This Post is in response of a comment made By Jay Albert in a previous post questioning if we really knew the meaning of the word Homie.

Definition of “HOMIE”
Shortened version of homeboy, homeboy being your close friend
From the Urban Dictionary
Homie;
Someone you grew up with, friend or not, and someone with whom you have shared any number of bonding experiences at home, in school, at work, or in any close-knit atmosphere. Homie means you have lived in the same area as this person for a significant amount of time in your life, but the term is appropriately used by those friends who truly feel comfortable referring to each other with such respect. It isn’t a word that should be taken advantage of, because a person recognizes who is a friend and who isn’t. Therefore, a true homie is always Down, while lesser friends will just be out to use you, borrow money from you, bum a ride in your car, etc.Uses;
Yo, homie, I’ll be at my house in case you want to come kick it later.
“Whassup homie”

The only time I use the word “Homie” is as I make it down across the rocks right before I jump in the water there is a lone seagull siting on a certain rock. My kids say the say the same thing as we greet this lone gull with “What up Homie!” It’s a GMG artifact and we can all blame Joey.
There are forty other gulls sitting over on the point but there is always one gull hanging out where we go swimming. Is this guy Jonathan Livingston Seagull? Doesn’t seem to be the same one but always a nice big fat grey back.
I never communed with seagulls growing up in Woods Hole. They were background music. Now I stop to look at them. You seem to have bigger ones up here. Or it’s just early senility that I am talking to seagulls. (I suppose when they answer back is when I am in big trouble.)
