Boo'd up is a slang phrase that means someone is happily involved in a romantic relationship or spending lots of time with their partner. The term "boo" has long been used as an affectionate nickname for a boyfriend or girlfriend, and adding "-ed up" emphasizes being fully wrapped up in the relationship.
The phrase became especially popular in the late 2010s, helped by social media and the success of "Boo'd Up," an R&B song by Ella Mai, which turned the term into a widely recognized part of Internet and dating slang. Now, younger audiences may use "boo'd up" online and in everyday conversation to describe couples who are affectionate, inseparable, or clearly in relationship mode. For example, they may use it playfully when someone disappears from group plans because they are spending all their time with their partner.
