#HappyBirthday to the #June2 #BirthdayCohort (incl. #Awkwafina @NoraFromQueens, @WayneBrady, @JudgeJeanine, and you?) on #NationalBubbaDay @NatlToday
I sometimes get a little 'thrill' from realizing that I have the same birthday as several famous people, and enough other people get that thrill from seeing their birthday-cohort (both the currently-famous & the probably-not-yet famous) that I figure it's worth doing 'one of these entries for every birthday'---maybe focusing on one of these holidays & or event-anniversaries in each entry)?'
That way I can go back & input new birthdays & events etc. Like this day's National #Bubba Day.
That holiday's explanation is linked through 'the main word' below; but first I want to understand that word better. And I find that you understand words better when you look at the other words at the bases of the words you're thinking-of ...
The word “Bubba” is U.S. Southern Slang for "Younger Brother" (or a Fellow Citizen who's Less-Educated &/or rather Poor ... also a pejorative for a Large (|Overweight) Man; it's sometimes a Term of #Endearment, but too often a term of Ridicule).
The word "Endearment" is built of -ment & #Endear---built of |En- (Make, Put in) + #Dear---built on ancient words that mean #Precious.
The word "Precious" is built on ancient words that mean "of great Price."
