We were at IHOP the other day and got stumped when the waitress asked one of our children about a 'boo boo'. Turns out this means a cut where you need a plaster (band-aid).

Yes [msnembarrased]
boo-boo huh? i'm stumped on how this phrase could mean anything to do with a cut.
bob-boo to me means, i've screwed up (yet) again...:)
Boo Boo means that a mess occured...you're right Wilfy. I make boo boos all the time lol. Like I knocked over a glass of soda the other day. What a boo boo! :D

I can't believe you did not know what a boo boo was.:) Even when I got hurt as a child it was always referred to as a boo boo.
I have to admit that at times there are words used in this forum that I have know idea what they mean. It is amazing that we speak the same language, but have so many different meanings for words.

Ah, but that's just it Kay, we don't speak the same language at all, it just sounds like we do on the surface! That's what makes life so interesting...
As a Brit, I get lulled into a false sense of security when I'm in US until someone I'm speaking to says "excuse me"? It's only then that I realise I've said something British that I need to 'translate' into American!
As an example, we stayed the night in a Chicago hotel (our plane was delayed) on the way to Florida a few weeks ago. On the shuttle back to the airport, the driver was quite chatty and asked where we were going and why. So I replied (thinking I'd say it the American way for his benefit) that we have a vacation home in Florida and he instantly said "oh, you mean you have a holiday villa". We'd both been ultra polite and used each other's phrases for the same thing! [msnsmile2]

Boo Boo is also a term used by some meaning to go number 2, more of the ghetto type.At least its not as crude as some other POOP terminology
Crikey, this thread has been quiet for a while! Bit of a boo-boo! [msnwink]
