Bubba is a relationship nickname formed from brother, given to boys to indicate their role in the family, especially the oldest male sibling. For some boys and men, bubba is used so pervasively it replaces the given name. The nickname may also be used outside the family by friends as a term of affection.
Because of its association with the southern part of the United States, bubba is often used outside the South as a pejorative meaning low economic status and limited education. The term 'bubba' may also be taken to mean one who is a 'good ol' boy' who has difficult business and social relationships due to his self-absorbed outlook on life. In the US Army and Marines, bubba can mean a lay soldier, similar to grunt but with connotations of endearment instead of derision. For example 'Can you make that device easier to work, 'cus every bubba is gonna have to use it.'
Bubba has also developed into a proper noun, used as a term of endearment, to describe someone who is especially lovable, adorable, etc. Also used to identify someone's significant other (i.e 'She's my Bubba'.[citation needed]) It is said to have evolved from the word 'baby', but its origin is unknown. Used predominantly in the Chicago area, specifically in the Edgewater/Andersonville neighborhoods. (wikipedia)
When a lady poet gets angry you better take care
Or her anger her grapes of wrath or her curses share
She will vociferously shout and swear
Oh Bubba how did you dare
On the face of adversity be unfair?
Did you not have a few crystallized tears to spare.
On her dainty little finger searching for a solitaire
Two warring women poets who do and dare
Poem hunters most famous Poetry Pair.
Love poetry Hate racism
