#264: Faux-booing
The common sports fan practice of faking a "boo" by yelling a guy's name that has the "oo" sound in it. For instance, when Isaac Bruce makes a good catch for the St. Louis Rams, when the fans go "Bruuuuuuuuuuuce" which sounds like boos but isn't. People think they are so cool because they are tricking others into thinking they are booing when in fact they are doing the opposite, lauding the good play. However, this practice has become so cliche that it's annoying, like waving towels at a sporting event (which I've already expounded upon in a previous post.) Severity: 1

I've never noticed faux booing before. I really need to stop drinking so heavily at games.
So that's what they're doing...
Reason #267 of why I hate watching sports.
Tobia, I think it's just that you have never been to a game with an "oo" guy on the team for the fans to do this. The A's use to have Dave Stewwwwwwwwwwart in the 80's. So don't worry, you can keep drinking.
