How to use boo in a sentence?

1. Amy Schumer:

   Of course, we’re in Florida, you’re going to boo, i know you’re here to laugh, but you choose how you’re going to live your life, and it’s just too important… Just so you know, from now on, if you yell out, you’re gonna get thrown out.

2. Sara Parris:

   So, I went to hand him his [stuffed animal] Boo and I noticed that he didnt use his dominate arm to grab it, he reached over to grab his bunny and then again, I knew something else wasnt right.

3. Janine Detore:

   One of my friend’s daughters is 17 years old and she has breast cancer. She and anyone her age would love that shirt. As a matter of fact, she owns that BOO BEE shirt, breast-cancer awareness is what we should be focusing on. Not just the shirt.

4. Naomi Osaka:

   She was hating. What would her children think? You're just going to come on the Internet and boo me for no reason? I didn't do anything to you, she was very upset. I also wonder, people like this, if they see you in person, I wonder what they would do?

5. Mackenzie Keast:

   People say boo-hoo about 'Oh, my God, I can't believe you'd have somebody break up with somebody for you.' I know there's people in marriages that have people serve papers, and they never talk to their divorcees ever again.
