[edit] Booboo

slang word definition. quite horribly written, and dubious. but regardless, even a good article on this belongs in wiktionary, not here. Wolfman 18:04, 9 Dec 2004 (UTC)

  • I was going to say Trans-wiki to the Wikitionary, however it's inaccurate (I've never heard anyone in Britain call feces "boo boo"), racist (seems to have made up the first half to justify the second) and overlooks a genuine term (the childrens' Americanism). So, Delete, and have the starting author [1] set on fire, as they've been responsible for graffiti, vandalism [2], and other VfD'd articles, including the attempted removal of VfD notices from them [3].

  • Delete. Apparantly it's ebonics for 'poo poo'. Not encyclopedic. [[User:Xezbeth|Xezbeth]] 18:40, 9 Dec 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete. I live in a heavily asian area, and I've never heard this used as a racial slur. -- Scott e^{i \pi} \,\! 18:52, Dec 9, 2004 (UTC)
  • Speedy please, this is vandalism (and BooBoo bear should have an article titled BooBoo Bear, not BooBoo). Wyss 19:20, 9 Dec 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete: Utter nonsense. Everyone knows that Booboo is Yogi Bear's sidekick, and he's not an Anglo bear. Possible speedy. Geogre 20:30, 9 Dec 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete: Utter nonsense, yes I agree, but I do think the term has a point, and has nothing to do with ebonics (how absurd). I have heard Asians use this term, seeing as I have used it, and I am Asian. =). I guess I could see what truth there is in it. But yes, completely racist, if thats the term you're looking for.
    • I am well aware that the article had nothing to do with ebonics. Not the point I was trying to make, anyhow. [[User:Xezbeth|Xezbeth]] 22:00, 9 Dec 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete: Har har, quite humourous, but if Yogi Bear's sidekick isn't an Anglo Bear, than he would have to be a female anglo bear, judging from the prodominantly white vocals. But nice try, George, and one ups to the one who mentioned ebonics; here's some advice: get lives. Cheerio.
  • Delete: Oh Scott, if only you knew Japanese. And Xezbeth... (insult removed by Fire Star 21:14, 9 Dec 2004 (UTC))...
    • Since when is it acceptable to edit other editor's signed postings? --jpgordon∇∆∇∆ 21:20, 9 Dec 2004 (UTC)
      • On my browser, the edited posting wasn't and isn't signed, therefore it is considered anonymous and largely discounted in the VfD process. The no personal attacks policy allows us to edit insults from discussions. Fire Star 18:21, 11 Dec 2004 (UTC)
  • Interesting, sockpuppet vandalism for the consensus. Delete article about childish reduplicated syllables. Fire Star 21:14, 9 Dec 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete. It's been replaced by an article about Yogi Bear's sidekick, but even that isn't worth keeping... P Ingerson 01:15, 10 Dec 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete. I reverted the article back to where it was when it was placed on VFD, since it was changed to nonsense. Redirect to Yogi Bear. Aerion 01:30, 10 Dec 2004 (UTC)
  • I flushed the dirty stiff down the -atory and put a short proper definition in. Anthony Appleyard 07:47, 10 Dec 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete. Or redir to Yogi Bear. Niteowlneils 18:58, 10 Dec 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete and block user. Nothing but Grade-A garbage from this IP. - Lucky 6.9 21:17, 10 Dec 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete but transwiki the dictdef to wiktionary. [[User:David Johnson|David Johnson [T|C]]] 13:17, 11 Dec 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete. ComCat.
