What does this sentence mean? I am your boo.
"Roses are red, violets are blue, you are the president and I am your boo." That's what Michelle said to Obama on Valentine's day. What is the meaning of this sentence? Thanks.
The original rhyme was
Roses are red
Violets are blue
Sugar is sweet
And so are you
There are hundreds of variations, often printed in valentine cards, and also often humorous - for example: https://www.quora.com/What-are-some-roses-are-red-violets-are-blue-jokes
I guess in this case you are asking about the last word specifically... is that right?
There is a french word "beau", meaning beautiful, that is sometimes used in english to mean a boyfriend, or a boy you have a crush on. In American english they pronounce it "boo" and over time it has come to be spelled "boo" as well.
Boo is used in other contexts - to express disapproval or as a thing to shout when you want to surprise someone and give them a fright, but that's not what it means in this example.

It's a strange American distortion - the French would be belle for feminine lovely - how it ends up as 'boo' who can say!
