It's an informal mode of address popular in the U.S.  It rhymes with "Danny 
Boy", title the famous song set to an English folk tune.  It's a rubric often 
used between friends, as in, "Hey, Jimmy-Boy!  How the hell have you been, you 
old so-and-so?"

I suppose you're complaining that I was being too informal.  Sorry.  You, of 
course, Dr. Shanahan, do not have to ask for the privilege of being informal 
with me.  I would be honored to have you call me "Lew-Boy".

I am known as "Mr. Boy."  I fetch and carry, wrap wires, do useful things around.
