Boop boop sounds like something a mom would refer to a lady's private parts as when talking to her kid.
Good luck on getting your boop boop working again.

I think that those terms would be either “lady bits” (learned when I worked for a veterinarian) or “va-jay-jay” (learned via “Grey’s Anatomy”.) But now that I think about it, I can see boop boop. 1566435820895.gif Not how I would go, but sure, I can see it.

When she was in labor, having to rely on O’Malley (of all people) to catch the baby, blessing out her husband for not being there, not knowing that he was in a car wreck - that was great stuff.

It was the stupidest show ever in terms of how hospitals work, but the characters were great.

Eventually my daughters refused to watch it with me, because I kept (loudly) complaining about the unrealistic plots, but there was some good stuff there.

You've obviously not met my mother. Lady bits and certainly va-jay-jay are words that would not come out of her mouth. She's old school country.
