"we could piss up the boys boat wall" this makes no sense.
however this does:
"we could piss up the boys bog wall"
bog is English schoolboy slang for toilet and the line describes the upmanship games played by boys when they are young.
The next section captures the unease and expectation of puberty.
"Where are you now?" Roger asks of the boy who bullied him at college.
"I'm still afraid" "Who gives a fuck, it's never really over."
This poignantly expresses the lasting damage bullying has on its victim.
This ring true to me.
