I always thought a booboo was a scratch you got but my cousin laughed and said he couldn't believe I didn't know what he meant, when he said "I have to booboo!"

Your cousin is using baby talk. Many families have code words for euphemisms. My family had two funny ones: BT (for "bad tricks") from my mom's side, and DN (for "do nasty") from my dad's side.
Booboo also means a mistake: "I made a booboo."
He probably laughed at you just because he was embarrassed to be using baby talk at his age.

Don't feel bad. I'm 38 years old and that's a new one on me too.
It might be more of a regional slang term. For example, few people outside of Oregon seem to know what you mean when you refer to a "half rack" of beer. And people in the south call shopping carts "buggies."

That's what I always thought it meant, however that doesn't necessarily mean that it's the only meaning. It's a slang term and slang can be interpreted in different ways by different people and in different areas. For instance, in the US, the term 'fanny' refers to the rear end. But in England, it refers to a woman's genetalia.

it has many definitions
as an accident
to take a dump
a scratch or cut
yogi and cindy's friend boo boo
and even as a term of endearment "my boo" or nickname.
we called my little cousin boo boo or booboolusius. manyly because he dookied quite a bit and often.
my best friend is phillipino and they used poo for taking a dump.
or your privates for a male was poo poo. so when he's pooty training his little boy he's like " pull out you poo poo and lift the seat and pee pee."

That's a new one on me, it sounds vaguely rude. I would've said scraped knee (as you suggested with "scratch") or a simple or small mistake or error. Interestingly, your cousin is using it as a verb, whereas you and I are using it as a noun.

Yep it's an "owwie" I don't know what your cousin is talking about. Is he a small child? It sounds like he is using it to say bathroom.
