So apparently it can be both Grandma and baby, and I have no idea why. I did double check, though.

"Bubbe" only meant grandmother originally. The "baby" meaning almost certainly comes from it being a false cognate with the English word.

This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.
