What does HOMIE mean in Scrabble?
noun
informalslangNorth American
A close friend, especially someone from one's own neighborhood or social circle.
Homie grew out of African American English as a shortened, affectionate form of homeboy or homegirl, terms for someone from the same home turf or hometown. The word spread through hip-hop culture and everyday slang to mean simply a close, trusted friend, with the sense of shared neighborhood loosening over time. Today people often use homie as a casual, friendly term of address, much like buddy or pal, even when the person addressed grew up somewhere else entirely.

Very informal slang, common in casual speech; used both to refer to a friend and as a direct term of address.
