Pablo the Pool Boy

You'll have to boot Pablo the Pool Boy.

I read this sentence in a article about some tips to the singles. What does this phrase mean?
  

Top answer

It's probably based on the California life style where many people have private swimming pools outside their homes. They hire service companies to clean the pool, and these companies hire young Hispanic males to do the work at very low pay. Pablo is a very common Hispanic male name.

Given that this is in a context of tips to single people, I have to say that I feel there may be some sexual aspect to this reference to Pablo the Pool Boy.

Maybe you have to ditch him because you have or may have a sexual relationship with him. Women having *** with the pool boy is not completely unknow

I'm however not the less obliged by your kind offer though you may be far away from the point.

Yeah! There is some sexual aspect to this. The translations say it's temporary sexual partner. But I can't understand how it comes. And I have been over 18 for many years....

I would say it means something like this:
boot is to fire, kick (as in quit a habit), or get rid of or get away from
Pablo the Pool Boy is probably a euphemism for any sort of side fantasy or object of **** that distracts someone from a more meaningful/significant relationship.

CliveMaybe you have to ditch him because you have or may have a sexual relationship with him. Women having *** with the pool boy is not completely unknown. Look here, if you are over 18.
In my youth, it was the milkman who was the temptation...
