I desperately want to hear someone say this in public! I never have! I hear everything around me, but have yet to hear this word. I have been to New Iberia, Chalmette, and Shreveport recently, for Pete's sake!!!! I want to hear someone say it...

Baws, what gives???!!!

I do, but not often. No one here knows what Im talking about. But one day some baw is going to overhear me and give me the head nod of approval from across the room.

Maybe I should try this when I'm traveling for work. Small town chit-chat, capped with a "Good talking to ya, baw!" See what happens!

Some of my dad's friends in the K. of C. used to use it, or people they knew. I have heard it, but not as much around Greater New Orleans or by even coonasses down here. I use it talking to my sons.

My wife even says “baw”. She pronounces is like “baa” and it makes me cringe every time but she still tries to say it in everyday convo. That has to count.

In South Carolina, the rednecks use "Bo" all the damn time.

"Bo, I tell you what, this generation now ain't worth shite, bo. Don't nobody want to work no more, bo,"

I used to say it when I was in Oxford House in Lake Charles and working at Don’s Car Wash.

Now, no.

I don’t interact with people except when I’m covering sporting events.

It doesn’t come up in that capacity

Yes as kind of a joke

True Story: I was in the beer store in Farmerville,La a few months back, some random black dude comes walking in and says "whut up Baw" to me.


I walked out laughing
