It means grandparent in Tok Pisin

Usually when you say it to someone who isn’t from Papua New Guinea, they will most likely think you are saying boob or referring to an injury.
(The u is pronounced as ōō, like in the word cook.)

Get the Bubumug. The iconic nickname for Lee Taeyong, created by an unknown fan in a Taeyong Vlive. Taeyong onstage is quite intimidating, while offstage he looks like a incredibly cute baby, as the name says bubu.

Get the bubu scratchermug. Bubu is a term of endearment used to describe someone who is extremely adorable, like a baby. This nickname gained popularity among the friends of Ofry Sakal Nezry, who coined the term to describe her because she is the epitome and origin of bubu.

Get the Bubumug. A cute nickname created for Lee Taeyong. It can not be used for other idols. It is just what tyongfs call Taeyong and what he has called himself. Some people have misused it as a nickname for different people but this is misleading, because it is only for Taeyong. There is another definition on here saying it was originally used for Han Jisung but that is just a lie
