Boo. Hmm. Usually a loud spooky sound uttered by ghosts to frighten the mundanes out of their homes.
But. Boo is also the name of a bear. Yogi Bear's side kick was boo-boo. It was a cartoon, may still be The famous line I recall is 'hey boo-boo, lets go steal us a pick-a-nick basket' And Boo-boo's reply was 'What about Ranger Smith?'
When I think of 'Boo' I think immediately of Yogi's Side kick. Perhaps there is a bit of a homo-innuendo in their relationship, two guys, a rather large one, a rather short one always hanging out with one another.... Sounds fishy to me.
On another front, Bo is short for 'baby' - as in what a guy may call is Gf/Bf. This appears to be growing in popularity in the newest generation.
Boo boo is a term that is derived from the French word "beau" meaning beautiful (18th Century) Thus boo may actually be a shortening of boo-boo as in beau.
