Sorry to dissapoint your fragile little mind but in England, where you live, we have different dialects.

Where i come from it's definently not boi, a boi is what i'd call a cheeky teenage twat who stands up to his elders, you know, like you.

In Scotland its boi, and everywhere i have worked offshore around Norwich its also boi.

Boy, the other way is not an option, it's just wrong. Like pronouncing phone as "puh-hone"

I am and we don't say boo-ee. It's more like boyee.

Reminds me of chef boy aredee.

Yeah, kind of like boo-ee said with an accent. All the ships i've been on have been american ships, but noone has ever said "boy". It's always similar to boo-ee, almost with a virginian accent.

As if everyone in the UK pronounces it that way, thats clearly not the case.
