Boo Daddy

1. A type of Southern conjure magic that keeps haints, hags, and plat-eyes away. It is made from marsh mud, Spanish moss, sweet grass, and salt water (from the article "Boo Daddies: Low Country Ghostbusters" by Bob Ciminel). The boo daddy is incubated in an oyster and can be carried around or worn around one's neck.
2. In a folktale about the Boo Hag from North Carolina, the Boo Daddy was a demon that would be fed a victim that was lured to their death by the Boo Hag. The latter took the form of a beautiful woman and married a young man whom she met at a dance. She disappeared every night and the man didn't find out what she was until he saw a woman who worked with hoodoo magic, seeing as the town's travelling priest had moved onto his next parish. Had he not destroyed the Hag, she would have fed him to the Boo Daddy. (This is but one story about Boo Hags, and it is a variation of a story from Georgia.)
1. From "Boo Daddies: Low Country Ghostbusters" by Bob Ciminel: "If you are afraid of ghosts, witches, and goblins that roam the streets after dark, keep yourself a boo-daddy in your pocket or around your neck and the scary creatures will stay away from you and go frighten someone who doesn't have any protection. The more you have, the farther those creatures will run until they stay away forever." --Translation of a Low Country saying.

The Boo Daddy is NOT a sugar daddy or anything else anyone on here says they are, and I have NO clue where they got it from.

The Boo Daddy is from Southern folklore, and it is either a protective amulet or a type of demon.

Boo Mafia

A type of Super Mario Maker term for revenge on a level creator. The term originated in early 2020. Going Boo Mafia on someone is when you go through a creator's list of levels, play them all, get all the world records, then boo every level. Sometimes as a bonus, you also steal all of that creator's world records. Going Boo Mafia on someone only happens when the person caused an offense, like if they leave a very rude message as a comment on one of your levels. It is not something to do to a creator for fun. It is only done for retaliation purposes
*twitch streamer: "This guy went out of his way to draw a middle finger as a comment because he couldn't beat the level. That's just rude. Now I'm gonna go full Boo Mafia on him. He will remember my name"

*twitch streamer: "I can't believe would leave 'F.U.' as a comment just because they didn't like my level. It's Boo Mafia time!"
