What does the word "boo" mean?

Question

I need the exact meaning of this word according to Alicia Keys and Usher's song "my boo"

Answer 1

1. Boo in the context of Usher/Alicia Keys' "My Boo" is positive. It refers to a bf/gf or lover someone that the person is very fond of.



2. Then there is the "boo" of disapproval which is something an audience member or members usually says when they don't like or approve the talent/performer or performance.



3. The next version of "boo" is meant to be condescending. For example, "Don't do that boo" or "No-one was talking to you boo-boo"



4. The last version of "boo" I can think of is one that someone uses to scare someone else. Like the person will sneak up on someone out of nowhere and just say "BOO!" really loud which will startle the person and the scarer (if that's a word) might laugh and maybe run away.



That's all the possible common definitions I can think of.

Answer 2

Boo is known in the dictionary as a word used to express dissatisfaction or contempt, especially at a speaker or performer. However Boo in ebonics can mean a good friend, or a girlfriend. It is used a term of endearment

Answer 3

One: To express contempt or disgust for someone or something, using the word, "Boo!"

Two: A cry of contempt or disgust.

Three: An exclamation which is used to scare someone.

Four- (and this is the context I've got a feeling you're referring to): Used as a term of endearment to, or a cute way of referring to your husband, wife, boyfriend or girlfriend.

Answer 4

Boo depends on the context. You referred to an Alicia Keys and Usher song so in that context it is someone that you care deeply for and claim.

In other contexts in can be a friend, a child, acquaintance or even a condescending expression when your upset with someone.



Example of Condescending : (Yelling) Boo, I wasn't even talking to you! Don't come at me like that, Boo Boo!"

Answer 5

I cannot believe all the moronic answers I'm reading!! Historically, the term came from a derogatory word for blacks, racists would call them "bugaboo." Then one day we all started calling our significant other "boo" for short. But that's the true origin of the word.

Answer 9

"Unsolicited advice from Buzzwatch: Don't ask someone to be “your boo” unless you know what it means. To deem a person “my boo” is to effectively designate that person as one's sweetheart. The slang expression had its big pop-culture moment in 2004 when Usher and Alicia Keys released a duet titled, “My Boo.”Jun 4, 2008"

Answer 11

Do I be an asshole and suggest I'm a cheater. Should I lie on my dick and tell I have had 39 sexual partners all females? If so, I need much more preparations before I'm ready to actually have sex with girls. Advice is also necessary. I once had a girlfriend who would kiss me several times because I implied i was smooth and attractive. But I probably have a reputation for that now and it might be harder so, what's left?
