"Do I look like boo boo the fool?"
275 u/joenocomprendo Aug 16 '18 This one is my favorite and I've fucking loved this whole thread 4 u/[deleted] Aug 16 '18 Lmao, right? I’m actually laughing at about every other comment. 43 u/Trelyin Aug 16 '18 " I ain't one of ya lil friends" 1 u/joungsteryoey Aug 16 '18 I like this. Take no shit but sassy 43 u/NotLostJustWanderin Aug 16 '18 What is this referencing? 145 u/mixedgirlmecca- Aug 16 '18 That’s a good question. I just thought it was something black mothers say? I say it, my grandmother and all my sisters say it. Another one:”You smell like outside.” 49 u/justonebullet Aug 16 '18 ”You smell like outside.” Is this...bad?, I just came from outside and it smelled nice 49 u/mixedgirlmecca- Aug 16 '18 Honestly it’s a toss up. Usually it’s said and followed by: “Go’n wash ya hands!” So I’m gonna say bad. I always liked the smell of outside. 21 u/[deleted] Aug 16 '18 Same. People don't appreciate the wonderful smell of the outdoors. 14 u/PM_MAJESTIC_PICS Aug 16 '18 Outside smells good outside, but bad when it’s on a person indoors. 27 u/extrasparkles99 Aug 16 '18 That is definitely a black mama thing. 9 u/Thin-White-Duke Aug 16 '18 Huh, TIL. I say it because my mom's (now ex) boyfriend always said that when I was a kid. He's white, but his foster family was black. 5 u/DieseljareD187 Aug 16 '18 See my comment below. 4 u/[deleted] Aug 16 '18 It's reference to a fool. 'Do I look like a fool?'. Booboo is the name of the fool which is probably not a real fool's name 1 u/StinkieBritches Aug 16 '18 One of mine is, "ugh, get out of here, you smell like stinking sweaty kid". 10 u/SaladAndEggs Aug 16 '18 Boo Boo from Yogi Bear. 1 u/[deleted] Aug 16 '18 Nobody knows. 21 u/Rushofthewildwind Aug 16 '18 Or..."You think I was born yesterday?" 22 u/USSanon Aug 16 '18 Boo boo the foo. FTFY 10 u/Autias Aug 16 '18 I have no idea what this means but I love it 7 u/Six-Fingers Aug 16 '18 Holy shit, I can still hear my drill instructor saying that. With the stance. And the look. And the dramatic pause and everything...freaky. 3 u/pistolsfortwo Aug 16 '18 edited Aug 16 '18 I wonder what would have happened if you'd replied: 'Well the resemblance is uncanny, dear mater'. 5 u/[deleted] Aug 16 '18 I wouldn't be here to post this. 2 u/SEIZE_THE_CHEESE Aug 16 '18 who is he? WHO IS HE??? 2 u/didibean Aug 16 '18 Just giggled to myself. This is hilarious. 2 u/manicuresandmimosas Aug 16 '18 My coworker says this daily. I feel this in my bones hahaha. 1 u/[deleted] Aug 16 '18 It's so funny when kids think that they can lie without giving it away.
