bubby

Meaning

Noun

• A woman's breast.

Origin

• Perhaps from dialectal (perhaps specifically via Pennsylvania German). Some older references connected the word to French poupe, but this is considered "very doubtful" by the OED. Compare Latin pūpa.
• Perhaps from brother, as pronounced by young children who are not yet able to properly pronounce its complex consonants, but alternatively perhaps from Pennsylvania German; see bub. Compare sissy.
• Variant spelling. (From Yiddish.)
