National Bubba Day 2025
 |
It necessitated an attitude of contempt to get clear of it as well.
These days you can call me most things. I even answer to "hey you".
Just don't call me Bubba.
Today is National Bubba Day.
It is observed each June second of the year under the auspices of one comedian T Bubba Bechtol who founded the day to celebrate everyone who is called Bubba and is a recognition of the name Bubba.
It is meant to empower those called Bubba and spread positivity for the nickname.
The day began on May 1 but was changed by Mr Bechtol in honor of his wife.
I am told that more than 50 million in the world are referred to as Bubba.
I recall my high school principal in Wagener, South Carolina was called "Bubba". He did not seem to mind.
It is likewise said that Bubba is a US Southern slang word for a younger brother. My late cousin Johnney Wade Williamson used to call his brother bubba briefly. The day is meant to spread positivity for the nickname.
So like I said, call me what you will but please don't call me Bubba.
Others may accept or reject the nickname in accordance with their wishes.
