boo hoo
Sarcastic crying sound
Boo hoo imitates the sound of exaggerated crying or sobbing, used either to represent actual weeping or, more often, to mock someone's complaints as trivial: Oh, boo hoo, you had to wait five whole minutes.
The dismissive use suggests the speaker finds the grievance unworthy of sympathy.
