Kirby wasn't the only one to use the 'Big Boy' press conference terminology. Karine Jean Pierre also uses the same phrase. Watch:

These people really sat down in a room together at the White House and said to themselves "you know what would really revamp the image of our dementia ridden boss? Telling the world that he's giving a 'big boy press conference.'" pic.twitter.com/liieFRVDCH

The phrase appears to have stemmed from a White House press briefing last week. According to the White House transcript, the phrase was used several times, which you can read here, here, and here.

The announcement has elicited varied reactions on social media, with some users criticizing the terminology used and questioning the president's ability to effectively handle such a press conference.
Pretty pathetic to have to call it a BIG BOY press conference.

John Kirby just said Biden will have a 'big boy press conference' between the hours of 11am and 3pm at a time to be determined this week when Biden is proven most likely to be awake and functioning barring any cold, jet-lag or non-prewritten questions for review/approval.

Can we safely assume, the Big Boy phrase meant, the children of the Washington Press Corps won’t be calling out questions?
Does the big boy get ice cream for doing well?
As long as he ‘answers all the questions’ /sarc
The ENTIRE congress, the administration, the secret service agents on the white house detail, the leaders of the secret service, the fbi leadership, the CIA ledership, the NSA leadership, the US joint chiefs of staff, and so many others are ALL guilty of treason for collusion to keep secret, a president who was never able to serve in full capacity.
No trials… Tribunals. FAIR, 3 minute tribunals for their lives.. I cannot believe than even one of the people tribunaled will go home that night.
I didn’t know what “cogent” meant until I saw the debate. I now see it means “dementia.” Thank you, Joe Scarborough.
With emphasis on the “Boy”.
Yes, “Boy” – since he’s officially entered his 2nd childhood.
Well, he can’t wear big boy pants anymore, that’s for sure.
On the contrary – there are adult diapers now available for big boys.
They need to know ASAP which alleged “journalists” will be attending the Big Boy’s Press Conference so that they can get them the pre-approved questions they are limited in asking to them.
Only took 3 years for Joe Dementia to have a press conference without a helicopter drowning-out anything he said while tottering across the Rainbow House lawn.
