Can someone suggest a cool antonym word (doesn't have to be a perfect antonymn .Could be something subtle as well) for the word 'boo',as in "The crowd was booing at the politician".

I am looking for something that rhymes,at least to some degree, with 'boo' .

For now the word that i have in my mind is 'hoo'. But i am not totally satisfied with it.

Any help is appreciated .

Thanks for your time

The name Juilian (Julianne, etc) is a Welsh name meaning "down-bearded youth." However, this term is not included in the online dictionaries that I checked.

I know who "Jesus" is.... my (deceased or I'd ask him) grandfather, from Italy and a Catholic family, would say this phrase as others would say "Jesus Christ" when exclaiming. Never heard anybody else say it, no idea how to spell "minatly".... nothing on internet searches, but since I can't spell it how can I search for it?

Pronounced "mi-nat-lee". He did often mispronouce English, and kinda did the Yogi Beara thing a bit (would say "close the light" and called the kitchen sink the "zinc". No idea if this is some Italian or German phrase or some other phrase he picked up elsewhere....

This question's a bit odd, I know, so let me explain: I first learned the meaning of my name (Braden) when I was 14 or 15 via a baby name book someone had brought to school (that would have been '94 or '95). My name was defined as meaning, "From the wide-open valley." In years that followed I would look at online databases and other name books, and the definition kept getting shorter, from "wide-open valley/spaces," to "wide-open," to finally just "wide" or "broad." This was the case until about 8 or 9 months ago when I looked again and now EVERYTHING says "Braden" means "Son of Bradan," and "Bradan" being a Gaelic word for salmon. I find this very odd, so I'm curious if anyone else has noticed if the definition of their name has changed in years past. Either that or if someone could explain to me why the meaning of my name has "changed," either one would be fine.

When I say themes, I mean, for example, water, religion, business, and nature to give you an idea. So it is pretty open. Just for fun, how many can you brainstorm on the spot??

And 'carmel' rather than 'caramel', 'Febuary' for 'February'?
Are these words changing forever, and if so, how do you feel about it?
Just curious...

I received an email from my bf yesterday. I had sent him one earlier in the day and started off saying "Hey You." He responded back "Hey There."

Is it a good thing if he responds back "Hey There?" It doesn't mean he's angry, does it?

Thanks!

Is this a grammar rule, or an etiquette rule? What is wrong with : The man spoke to me and Carl?
