Keep. It's already at Wiktionary (see wikt:batty boy) and this article already goes beyond a dicdef. Angr (talk) 10:30, 20 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, good amount of discussion among multiple secondary sources, — Cirt (talk) 16:25, 20 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
The nominator's "not a well known word" is a long way wide of the mark. I have no connection with Jamaica but have been aware of this phrase for all of my adult life of forty years or so. Phil Bridger (talk) 22:29, 22 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per Angr and Cirt. Good third-party sources and the discussion of the cultural context around the term is suitable for wikipedia. Sprocket (talk) 05:30, 27 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
