Papagallo rightly points out that 'boy' isn't exactly they way you'd think of Ricky Martinez. And I think the same holds true for 'black.' Ricky is Dominican, and while he certainly has black blood in him--my guess is that most people think of him as Blatino, and that's probably how he'd describe himself, too.
This Ricky Martinez/June scene has been regularly posted complete & in excerpts for years, but just try finding it in the archive. Why? Because of guys like 20 boy--who knew the movie's title ("Anaconda") and had the actors' names to work with. But how did he ID & tag it? "Huge boy" (Not only is that USELESS, it's not even an apt way of referring to someone like Ricky Martinez.)
I certainly would like to be on the receiving end of that load!
