["Welcome to 2005, Matt"]

What's the deal with people using the old The Simpsons punch line "Boo-Urns" to emphasize something being bad? During the scene in question everyone boos Mr. Burns' short film. When Burns questions the audience's actions Smithers says, "They aren't booing, sir. They're saying boo...urns. Boooo-urns." [We all know how the rest of the scene plays out.]

This means that "boo-urns", as an out of context phrase, should be used as a positive. Yet, for the YEARS people have been saying, "Oh! Boo-urns!" they say it as a negatively connoted expletive. Why? "Boo" on it's own is already boo. It's the thing - the thing that you're meaning to say. Why the hell are you adding more syllables to it?

Because it's funny you twat.

I think you may literally be the only person on the face of the planet who cares about this "issue".

Was it my post that did this? I've only seen me use it on here the last few days. I hope it was me.

Except it's a reference to a very specific joke. The idea that anyone would shout "BOO-urns" is ridiculous. Whether or not it's positive or negative is irrelevant. The jeer's been turned into an allusion meant to call attention to their taste in pop culture, not to actually express pleasure or displeasure.

Za? Not true, what-so-ever. Every time I hear it (still) it's very much to 'express... displeasure". Don't get me wrong; it may be a regional thing.

I'm not sure if it was your post. It may have been what made me post a thread about it at that particular moment, but it certainly wasn't what made me think of it.

You forgot an apostrophe

Good thing you got this off your chest.


Something like this could really weigh a guy down.

I'll be sleeping like a baby tonight!

Side Note: What does that tag mean?

[Dead and Messed Up]

More importantly, I'm really angry at all you guys who say "Play it again Sam." They never say that in Casablanca, not once!

Interesting. Not entirely accurate... But interesting.

Case in point.

[Smoke Bomb]

During the wait for the midnight premiere of The Simpsons the showing was delayed by ten minutes. During the fifth minutes of waiting the crowd started to boo, I decided to be clever and yell "Boo-urns". The crowd loved it.

[Jack Package]

Finally somebody said it. This is definitely an issue that needs delving into...

[Rock]

I say it all the time.

[MaxRenn]

The thing about boo-urns is that there is yet to be a worthy boo-urns subsititute.

Amen brother. Also it's "The goggles do nothing" not "The Goggles. They do nothing." And Captain Kirk never said "Beam me up Scotty." WTF is wrong with people?

[Popsicle Pete]

I've never heard anyone say that. It would be kind of funny if it was a regional thing, like if everyone from a particular state makes that particular Simpsons reference all the time.

[Atomic Cow]

Everyone understands the joke right? If you go to a Bruce Springsteen concert people wonder why they are booing him. Someone will say thay aren't booing him, they are chanting Bruuuuuuce. I don't remember the Simpsons episode in question. But assume they are placating Mr. Burns by suggesting he is like Springsteen

I don't get the butthurt tag. Does the person who typed that not understand what the phrase 'butthurt' means, or when/how it's used?

Oh, taggers. Who the hell is doing that? Think about it; there is one reply for every single view to this thread (except the first one of course, since the OP doesn't count as a view). So, at least one of the posters in here is either messing around or he/she is, as Smalley put it, "...the worst of the worst". So, who is it? Jack Package? Rockatansky? ...Cow?... I know Smalley always adds the "Matthew Douche... Nozzle" one, but that's because I ask for it

[Han Bennink]

Ever noticed how people on mobile phones tend to shout? What's up with that?

[post tenebras lux]

It's not as funny as this classic Homer quote:

"Alcohol. The cause and cure of all mankind's problems."

And with 9 posts on the counter, the thread has been won!

[Duder]

Me and my friends say it all the time. It's just fun to say.

[some j.]

Here's my reaction to this post:

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!

and I am NOT saying Boo-Urns

[Matt the Hat]

The acronym "MILF" has always bothered me. It's an unsexy word that fails to describe a mature attractive women. "MILF" sounds more like a group of characters from The Lord of the Rings. I suppose I should be grateful for the newish word "cougar" which does carry sex appeal.
