Baboop: To encourage someone to hurry up and get to the point, after the iconic sound TiVo makes when fast-forwarding.
Usage:
Her: … and then what happened was, well, because when it was happening, the thing is –
Him: Baboop baboop baboop.
Her: Fine. I’m not telling you now.
Him: Baboop.
Sometimes followed by “BONG!”
ROFL — Lord, that would be useful in academia…
hah! I just used the tivo reference (a different one, tho i admit “ba” before “boop” sounds closer) in my blog post last night! It’s *so* true.. I often think of “babooping” through conversations maaany times a day.
Best!
Awesome post! I think I’ll use this, although it’ll probably fall under the “dry humor” category for some folks. :)
My DVR is silent; I think I’m missing something!
We turned our sound off long ago, but I remember this sound and now the idea is part of our daily vocabulary. So thanks. A LOT! BaBOOP!
p.s. Someone needs to come out with a little sound maker that does this on command… that’d be right up there with TV-B-Gone.
