Dorssie M. Jr.ParticipantThis has bugged me for months: I have heard the word boo used by black women in describing a relationship. Now, I was married to a black woman for 17 years until she passed away, and I thought I was pretty knowledgable, but this word really doesn't make any sense to me. What does it mean?User Detail :

Orleanas19983ParticipantFrom what I know of the word, it's simply a cutesy way of saying that someone's your love or "baby."User Detail :

MalindaParticipantThe term 'boo' is not in reference to a 'relationship', it is a term of endearment (like baby, or honey).User Detail :

AngeeParticipantThe word 'Boo' is just a term of affection. It is very similar to being called Baby or Honey. I've haven't heard very many whites use the term but I have heard it a lot. Check out my email ID.User Detail :

Christopher W.MemberIn French, 'Beau' means 'handsome'. In the 1800s in France and Louisiana, people began to use it to mean 'suitor', a love interest. People just forgot how to spell it. Check the dictionary on 'beau'.User Detail :
