Ive recently read Angelas Ashes a autobiography or memoir written by Frank McCourt and Irish author. Within said book is a sex scene in which Frank takes off all his clothes and gets and erection, his partner looks at him and says Lord, you might be a scrawny bit of a fellow but thats a fine [boyo] you have there. This leads me to believe that in the 1930s in Ireland, more specifically Limerick [Boyo] was a slang term for a penis.
