Booboos

/ˈbuːbuːz/ noun

Definition

Plural of booboo; multiple minor injuries, bumps, mistakes, or silly errors, especially those experienced by children.

Etymology

Simple plural of 'booboo,' the reduplicative baby-talk term for minor hurts or mistakes. Maintains the same etymological path through onomatopoeia and children's language.

Kelly Says

The word 'booboos' is so firmly established in English that pediatricians and parents naturally use it—language shaped by the needs of people talking to small children has remarkable staying power!
