boo vs mijo and mija
I been thinking about this for awhile. In the area I live in people seem to use boo for affection towards friends or parental affection. I believe this would be the same as the usage of mijo and mija. Is there anyone who agrees or disagrees.

Well, Torielisa this could certainly be similar. However, you can't use mijo -a toward parents. In most cases it's pretty contextual, depends on the familiarity of your relationship with the person. You can say, mijo -a to a child (the more proper common use), for example, "Ven pa'ca mijo". As well, it can be used toward a friend or a girl you're trying to be sweet on. For example, "¿Qué onda mija?"
Does that help? 
Mmm... I really don't know. I suppose you could, but if I am correct, it means "honey" in the U.S.A.? Or something like that.... anyway, no sé, pero bien pregunta. =]
We have the same thing here, there is no direct translation, I think that name comes from the book written by Harper Lee, To Kill A Mockingbird. Boo was a beloved character in the book.
