homies
Your trusted circle
Homies is the plural of homie, slang for close friends—people from your neighborhood or inner circle.
The term originated in Black and Chicano communities and spread through hip-hop culture: Me and my homies are hitting the club tonight.
It implies loyalty and shared background, stronger than casual acquaintance.
