The word operates in two completely opposite emotional registers. In public settings, it is a weapon of social rejection, creating a wall of noise to signal that a performer or official has failed or is disliked. It carries a feeling of collective condemnation and auditory aggression.

Countable when referring to a specific instance of a shout (a loud boo). Uncountable when referring to the romantic partner as a general term of endearment.
