I'm glad I've got google to help me know what you folks are talking about. Thanks to Voltage for another glimpse of another world.

lol, I just made that up! I had no idea it was a real word!

More interestingness! I have used a BODKIN. However, a bunch of Irish and a bunny are named Bobkin, so I guess I'll let this pass, so that you can get at 2 Bs.

WM wasn't as fortunate as Voltage in creating a word. I realize I've brought this on myself with my choice of word, but I can't find "boopun", so I'm going to be (inconsistently) picky and skip it.

With the Oogum Boogum song playing in the background, the hook comes out of the water, impaling a small piece of paper bearing the simple words, "missed me"

Great guess!

Acording to dictionnary.com

Boojum may refer to:

A particularly dangerous kind of Snark.

Boojum (superfluidity), a phenomenon in physics, associated with superfluid Helium-3.

The boojum tree( Fouquieria columnaris ) of Baja California, with an isolated population in Sonora, Mexico.

A planned but never completed supersonic version of the SM-62 Snark

A flying enemy whose shriek attack hurls your character back from it in the computer game

the only possibilities are

boo_u_

where either the 1st or 2nd blank is 'm' or 'p'...

The only possible letters to fill in the other blank are fjqvwxz

There is no word in dictionary.com for which any of those letters could be used to fill the blank in 'boo_um'

There is no word in dictionary.com for which and of those letters could be used to fill the blank in 'boopu_'

so I'm not sure where to go from here.

Edit: well it looks like it was solved while I was typing that...

Boojum comes up with zero results on dictionary.com

"No results found for boojum:

Did you mean BiJM (in dictionary) or Boojum (in reference)?"

eh, whatever... who's up next?

Boojum is a made up word from the mind of Lewis Carol that has found its way into the vernacular. Much like chortle, which I mentioned before.
