Booed is the past tense and past participle of boo, meaning to express disapproval or contempt by shouting "boo" at someone or something.
Audiences boo performers, sports fans boo opposing teams or unpopular calls, and crowds boo politicians they dislike.
The comedian was booed off stage after his third failed joke.
