Boys (4)

I believe the answer is:

lads

'boys' is the definition.
(lad is a kind of boy)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for lads that I've seen before include "Fellows, blokes" , "Young men" , "Boys, young fellows" , "Fellows, chaps" , "Youngsters" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror, The New York Times, The Star Tribune, The Telegraph and the LA Times.
