boohoo
Cry me river
Boohoo imitates the sound of loud, exaggerated crying—sobbing with theatrical tears.
It often carries a mocking or dismissive tone, suggesting the crying is overdone or unwarranted: Oh, boohoo, you didn't get your way.
As a verb, to boohoo is to cry noisily: She boohooed for an hour after the breakup.
