BBW? I finally learned what it meant. A few years back, I lined up a date off Craigslist. She described herself as a BBW. I thought is meant black, brown, white. Wrong. It's big, beautiful, woman. Lol. Had fun despite the mixup.

It actually happened here once and bugged me enough to chase down the car full of teens, blow them a kiss and tap my cleat on their side window (yes, I can kick this window all over your face right now). Boy the stupid things I've done when I'm full of testosterone!
