boos, booze

Boos or boos is the he, she, it form of "boo", meaning to make a noise or shout of disapproval, as at a public speech or performance --
He boos whenever our team is losing, but he doesn't cheer when we win.
She boos at the TV when she doesn't like something; just ignore it.

Boos or boos may also be the plural ( more than one ) of "boo", meaning a shout of disapproval --
You can hear the boos outside on the street; what's going on?
He was shouted down with a chorus of boos.

Booze or booze ( rhymes with boos ) is an old-fashioned slang term for alcoholic beverages, particularly distilled beverages--
He says he can remember when booze was illegal, but I don't believe him.
Don't forget to bring a bottle of booze, in case of snakebite or some other emergency.

Now that you know that, you can say --
