A Yiddish(Jewish) word, traditionally used by Grandmothers, that references children. The modern usage of the word can be extended to any person that is considered darling and close to one'
s heart. One could go as far as to interchange the word "bubala" for any pet
name (i.e.: "Dear", "Darling", "Honey", "Sweetness and Light", "Love
Muffin", "Lover", "Snookums", "Baby", "Hot pants", "Boo", "Philly Buns", "Sweet Cheeks", "Mammacita", "Suga'",
etc).
