bubby

(buh-bee) n. (1) a supplier of marijuana; (2) an affectionate Jewish grandmother; (3) a woman's breast or one of a pair of bubbies; (4) a great brunch spot in NYC; (5) the name of a baby echidna, an unusual mammal (monotreme) commonly known as spiny aneater that lays eggs and suckles its young (see RIGHT image); (6) a sad, divorced, loving middle-aged father's little boy

It turns out the term bubby is not just "bobby" or "booby" spelled wrong. Bubby is its own term and can be used as an affectionate label for grandmothers, little boys, spiny anteaters, and other loved ones...like your local drug dealer. It looks like there is a bubby in some shape or form in everyone's life.
