Name[edit]
"Bubbe" used in Francine's Tough Day
"Bubbe" is a word originating from Yiddish which means "grandmother." Since there is more than one way to spell the word in English, official PBS sources have variously used Bubby[1][2] Bubbe,[3][4][5] and Bubba.[6][7] On this wiki, "Bubby" is preferred because it is the spelling used in actual dialogue in "Is That Kosher?"[8] In "Francine's Tough Day," Francine refers to Bubby as "my bubbe."
