Expressions of disapproval must be a mistake (6)

I believe the answer is:

booboo

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'a mistake' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'expressions of disapproval' is the wordplay.
'expressions of' becomes 'boo' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'disapproval' becomes 'boo' (I have seen 'Express disapproval ' mean 'boo' so perhaps 'disapproval' could also mean 'boo').
'boo'+'boo'='BOOBOO'

'must be' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for booboo that I've seen before include "Error" , "Blunder" , "Having got animated, bear" , "mistake" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
