1. do you mean (a) BabaBooie? (b) BabaLoo (altered form of babalao) or (c) bubbelah? |
|
(a) sounds the closest
(b) is a signature phrase of Desi Arnaz, an altered form of babalao (a word for spiritual healer, eg in traditional Cuban culture)
(c) is Yiddish and means grandma, affectionately, like "nana" it can also be a more generic affectionate term, often used sarcastically (a little like "kiddo"). "Bubbemeiser" means literally "grandmother's story", similar to the phrase in English "old wives' tale" ...
at any rate, I have never seen "Bobalouie" before
