Definitions
The act of checking in on your significant other, romantic interest, or close person — either literally asking how they're doing or doing a vibe-read to assess where you two stand. A boo check can be sweet (a soft 'you good?') or strategic (quietly gauging if the relationship is still on track). Sometimes it's a test, sometimes it's love, sometimes it's just anxiety wearing a cute hat. When someone says they're doing a boo check, they're either being affectionate or they're worried about something — usually both.
She hadn't texted back in six hours so I did a little boo check — nothing dramatic, just a 'hey, you good?' — and turns out she was just napping.

- bootsy check78%
A bootsy check is the social ritual of clocking whether someone or something is performing below standard — calling out low effort, bad vibes, or sloppy execution before it becomes your problem. Think of it as a quality-control sweep with an attitude. You run a bootsy check on a friend's outfit before they embarrass themselves, on a group chat before drama escalates, or on your own behavior when your excuse game is clearly lacking. It's equal parts accountability and shade — a quick audit that says "we see exactly what's happening here, and it ain't it."
- bb check77%
A lighthearted check-in or status update between close friends or romantic partners — derived from 'bb' (baby/babe) as a term of endearment. A bb check is a soft wellness ping asking how someone is doing, often used in text exchanges to show you're thinking of them.
- bojo check74%
A quick internal or external audit of whether someone is veering into BoJo territory — all bluster, impossible promises, and chaotic charm covering a spectacular absence of follow-through. Doing a bojo check means asking: is this person actually delivering or just performing confidence? Are those ambitious claims grounded in anything? Is the hair suspicious? Bojo checks are useful for evaluating politicians, managers, and anyone who talks loudly about their big plans while mysteriously producing no results. The check exists because the pattern is, unfortunately, reusable.
- boi check73%
A call-out or reality check directed at a guy who is acting out of pocket, delusional, or overly bold. Used online to publicly challenge someone's claims or behavior, often in a tone that mixes mockery with mild disbelief.
- boujee check73%
A boujee check is a lighthearted reality audit to determine how far someone's tastes, habits, or spending have drifted into high-maintenance territory. It can be self-initiated or called out by friends when the evidence starts piling up — the $18 smoothie, the upgraded hotel room 'just because,' the insistence on a specific brand of sparkling water. It's usually affectionate rather than critical. The boujee check isn't about shaming — it's about acknowledging the upgrade arc with at least a degree of self-awareness.
