Bui
Bui is a Bahamian bastardization of the English word boy.
Bui is generally used to refer to males but in recent times has become unisex.
Bui can be used interchangeably with boy, girl, guy, man, woman, friend, enemy acquaintance, stranger and many more.
To understand Bui more youโll need exposure to Bahamian culture
Bui is not a true-to-word spelling but is a commonly accepted one. There is generally no accepted spelling for the word bui.
Younger generations (those born approx. 90โs onwards) have taken the word โBuiโ and evolved it โBeyโ which is pronounced exactly how it is spelt.
Bui phonetically sounds like: bahโyee or buhโyee
While
Bey is simply pronounced as โBayโ not to Ben confused with the American โBaeโ.
