Origin of bobo¹

1995-2000; bo(urgeois) ¹ + bo(hemian); from the book Bobos in Paradise by U.S. journalist David Brooks

Quickly I grabbed my Gaga Bobo, stuffed a corner under my nose, shoved my thumb back into my mouth.

She greeted me with her exuberant year-old Yorkie Bobo at her side.

Josh Wool caught up with the Kansas native at Bobo, one of his favorite West Village restaurants.

I told Bobo that my friend was guilty of the same charge, but Bobo told everybody that only I had done it, and not my friend.

The infamous Bobo was telling people that I had slept with a hooker.

Margy suddenly remembered that when she had seen Bobo before he had been chained right at this little house.

It opens well with "'Sling me over a two-eyed steak, Bill,' said Bobo."

Bobo's red eyes expanded and the ruff on the back of his neck began to rise.

But soon Bobo smelled the children out and leaped, whining, against the door of the cabin.

At last one day she asked the children who they meant by "Bobo."
