Earlier today my friend @CurvyGirl418 inadvertently introduced me to a new word. Below you'll find the real definition. I want to use this word, it's cute. I don't have any real haboob in my life so I have to make it mean something else. Urban dictionary was disapointing. Please give me suggestions. Doesn't have to be, but kid friendly suggestions are welcome.

ha·boob
həˈbo͞ob/Submit
noun
a violent and oppressive wind blowing in summer, especially in Sudan, bringing sand from the desert

    Yes, I have boobs. I mean I “haboobs”.

    Thought of that, but I want to use this word. I don't have any boobs on me, or within reach so sadly that's as useful as a strong wind.

    Its still using the strong wind violent storm idea... i came in like a haboob and crushed that test. You are just taking the metaphor/similie iut of it and using it directly.

    Lol...my teacher brain is on slight vacation mode.

    That's what led me to this actually. Poor girl got of a plane and was greeted by one. I'd never heard of it before. Always just a sand storm to me.

    Wellll... when my husband and I were dating he started calling me Boobah. It may have had something to do with that weird show, I'm not really sure. He still calls me Boobah, but more often it's Boob. Sometimes Booben. LMAO, it's not as weird as it sounds, I swear.

    To me it sounds like Hoopla, like making a big deal out of something. I don't understand what all the haboob is about
