What the hell is a boo?

I know it's a term of endearment but what the hell is it exactly. What does it really mean? Where did it come from. I can't help but laugh when people use this term lol

According to urbandictionary.com geek

1. boo



- boo is a term that is derived from the French word "beau" meaning beautiful. In 18th century England it meant an admirer, usually male. It made it's way into Afro-Caribbean language perhaps through the French colonization of some Caribbean islands.



- pet name: your hunny,sweety,baby.

Slang term for someone that you have affection for even though you are not in a relationship with them.

Can also be used for someone that you are in a relationship, but usually that term moves on by that time.

Boo is a relatively old word and has been used since 1996, it should be retired.

Ghostown DJ's and Usher have made popular songs using the term, both also being titled "My Boo".

I don't buy that it actually came from beau. I think it's short for 'boo-boo', which is convenient babytalk. lol

Don't feel bad. I'm still not sure if a "shorty" is a child or a small girlfriend.
