Plural noun or third person singular verb; instances of loud, dramatic crying or theatrical weeping.
Either the plural noun (multiple instances of boohoo crying) or the third person singular present verb form ('he/she boohoos'). Maintains the imitative quality of the base word.
We say 'no boohoos' to children, a phrase that simultaneously acknowledges crying happens while dismissing it as theatrical—the word itself teaches kids that some crying is performative.
