Also means
bourgeois bohemian (person)
Usage Note
Bobo has two quite distinct uses: in children's speech it means a small hurt or scrape (avoir un bobo = to have a boo-boo), and in sociological slang it describes a 'bourgeois-bohème' — a well-off urban progressive, an equivalent of 'bobo' in English. Context makes the meaning clear.
Examples
"L'enfant pleure à cause de son bobo."
Natural Translation
The child is crying because of his boo-boo.
