What does "Baba Booey" mean?
It is a word or nickname that comes from Gary Dell’Abate, the
executive producer of the Howard Stern radio show. In 1990 Dell’Abate was attempting to explain an animated cel he wanted to buy. It featured
Quick Draw McGraw and his sidekick, Baba Looey. However, Dell’Abate
accidentally said, “Baba Booey” instead of Baba Looey. Stern and others on the show immediately began teasing Dell’Abate with it and nicked named him "Baba Booey" and it still lives on today.
Baba Booey has also become a word people say at ends of crazy stories to signal you've been fooled
