Actually, MT is not totally wrong. The word BOYCHIK had been overheard to
denote a gentleman of certain proclivities, when acting in the way that
doesn't befit his middle+ age. This is probably too new to be in
dictionaries. I assume MO used it in its standard usage.
Standarg usage is different:
CHIK is a Russian diminutive suffix. Combined with word BOY it gives a
meaning of condecsension, if not contempt. There is no endearment in the
term.
