Origin of boy dinner
Boy dinner is a direct offshoot of the viral phrase girl dinner. TikTokers use girl dinner to describe a simple yet healthy meal they assembled from their foodstuffs. (Often, these dinners' contents are arranged artfully upon a plate or charcuterie board.) In contrast, TikTokers use boy dinner to describe a meal that consists of foods no one should put in their body.
TikToker @bryaninheelee is often credited with coining the phrase boy dinner, in a July 2023 video. In that video, @bryaninheelee says to imagine the contents of a typical single man's grocery basket, when thinking about what might comprise a boy dinner.
