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.)
Me: my Bubu baked cookies with me yesterday.
Friend: Who?
Me: I meant my Grandma.

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
