WHAT DOES BUBBA MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Bubba

In American usage, bubba is a relationship nickname formed from brother and given to boys, especially eldest male siblings, to indicate their role in a family. For some boys and men, bubba is used so pervasively that it replaces the given name. The nickname may also be used outside the family by friends as a term of endearment. Because of its association with the southern part of the United States, bubba is also often used outside the South as a pejorative to mean a person of low economic status and limited education. Bubba may also be taken to mean one who is a "good ol' boy." In the US Army and Marines, bubba can mean a lay soldier, similar to grunt but with connotations of endearment instead of derision. At times it may be used as a term of endearment for a person, especially a man, who is either overweight or seemingly powerful large body frame. In gun culture, Bubba is a term used for a person who permanently alters or modifies historic firearms, with no regard for its historical value. The word exists in other languages and carries similar meanings.
