ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Booing

Booing is like saying "we don't like what you did" very loudly. For example, when you see a bad guy in a movie, you might yell "boo" at the screen.

Sometimes, when people are watching a performance, like a play or a sports game, they might feel really disappointed if they don't like what they see or if they think someone did something unfair. So, they might start booing to show that they're not happy.

Booing can be a way to express your feelings, but it's also important to remember to be respectful towards the performers and players too. If you don't like what's going on, it's okay to express that, but there are also other ways to show support or disappointment without being rude or mean.
