Not the lemming you replied to, but I’ve never seen the word booku before, and had no clue what it meant until your post. Still don’t know what beaucoup is doing in an English post but sure
For what it’s worth, I’ve heard this as well, but never seen it spelled before. My grandad and dad used to use it to essentially mean “a ridiculous amount”.
How old does a word have to be to satisfy you?
“Beaucoup” is like 800 years old. Shitty spelling isn’t a neologism.

It’s a loanword.
Lemmy users are never beating the reputation of taking anything and everything in the most literal way.
Yes, I have literally stolen the word “beaucoup” from you. ;-)
