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.
However, it can also be used as an insult towards someone to indicate that their suffering is insignificant and that they need to toughen up.

Ofry:" Today I went to take care of dogs in need"
Yoav: "You are such a Bubu"
Yoav: "damn I got a paper cut"
Ofry: "oyy Bubu"

It means grandparent in Tok Pisin
(I don’t know if it’s the same for all the dialects though)
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.)
