The response is Yah boo or Yah Nuh Boo.

Eye-boo. I'm so glad someone else asked! I also have to stop myself saying yaboo to DP.

Missanneshirley · 04/04/2016 23:59

So many Eye-boos! I am so pleased! And logically (phonetically?) it really says Ay as in day. But it's definitely eyeboo to me.
And "yah -boo" if you are being U !

Ludways · 05/04/2016 00:30

I say the whole thing "am I being unreasonable" and "you are being unreasonable" or " you are not being unreasonable", I've never done the grown up thing before, feel quite proud of myself.

GraysAnalogy · 05/04/2016 00:33

Am I being unreasonable.

I've just realised how weird it is that I don't think of it as aye-bu or something

BackforGood · 05/04/2016 00:47

Another 'Am I Being Unreasonable' here, too.

QOD · 05/04/2016 00:54

My mind is blown that people say anything other than the letters A I B U

Aye-boo?? Noooooooooo

3 years I've been on MN and it has never occurred to me to say it any other way

Ay Eye Bee You.

Stripyhoglets · 05/04/2016 01:33

Ay Boo

shadowfax07 · 05/04/2016 01:34

Yet another Am I being unreasonable

Qwebec · 05/04/2016 02:41

It has no sound in my head, just a shape.

It's like when I read a book and there are names I never heard the name becomes the shape of the word. Works well unless the book has lots of characters with similar shaped names or is someone else is talking to me about the book. Then I have no idea who is who as I've never "listened" to the name in my head.
Am I the only one?

wannadancethenightaway · 05/04/2016 06:33

Ay-boo

PageStillNotFound404 · 05/04/2016 06:36

Ay-boo when seeing the abbreviation in Threads I'm On, but "Am I Being Unreasonable" when reading it as part of a thread title.

Roddas · 05/04/2016 06:54

Am I being unreasonable
