What does Bubba mean in Hebrew?

Buba is a Hebrew word for ''little doll'' and may have been the source of an affectionate term for a small grandmother; however, the similar baba is also used for ''grandma'' in Russian and other Slavic languages, which makes the origin uncertain.

But bubba shows signs of breaking from its narrow confine as a term of direct address or as the nickname of Southern football players, usually black (the best known is Bubba Smith, who gained fame as a defensive end for the Baltimore Colts). It now has a political coloration in the phrase bubba factor. ''Bubba is political shorthand for 'Southern conservative,' '' reports Mr. McLaughlin. ''Think of bubba as a synonym for redneck or good ol' boy - someone who speaks a rural, crusty prose and is hard to present to city folk. The bubba factor refers to Southern conservatives whose vote must be considered in an election.'' The word has not yet sorted out its meaning. If it is a paradigm of a poor rural Southerner, its synonyms are cracker (someone who cracks his own corn, too poor to buy cornmeal) or redneck (possibly from a sun-scorched neck from bending in the fields), and its factor is white; yet the word, when used in direct address, is at least as often associated with blacks as whites. Is it possible we have the birth of a nonracial, or biracial, term for ''imposing Southerner''? Watch this space, bro.

Fine Line

''We righties,'' I wrote in a political harangue, ''come to our side's line of scrimmage with different mental sets.'' That was a neat trope, I thought; a football player comes to a motionless ''set'' on a line of scrimmage. Watch those sports metaphors. ''Your side doesn't have its own line of scrimmage,'' writes Donald Kennedy, member of the Nitpickers' League and president of Stanford University. ''Neither do the other guys. Rather, the line of scrimmage is a singular domain, a plane passing through the equator of the resting football, and destined to become the point of collision between the burly biggies of the Right and their smaller, quicker opponents on the Left.'' Football fans could argue that each team has its own line of scrimmage, at either end of the football; on this theory, only the center snapping the ball is allowed to be in the ''neutral zone'' where the football rests between the lines of scrimmage. However, the term line of scrimmage is usually used in its singular sense, for the imaginary line that passes through the most forward point of the ball (not, as is believed at Stanford, the ball's equator). The corrected version: ''We righties come to our side of the line of scrimmage with different mental sets. . . .''
