choir boy
Young sanctuary singer
A choir boy is a boy who sings in a church or cathedral choir.
The term extends figuratively to any male perceived as innocent, pure, or well-behaved: He's no choir boy—he's been in trouble with the law before.
The figurative use often appears in denial or negation, suggesting someone has a hidden rough side.
