It’s actually a simple question and it’s a question that a lot of people have been asking for quite some time. It’s an acronym, but what does it mean? Does it mean Big Bicycle World? No, that’s not all. Does it mean Blue Beach Waves? No. BBW is short for Big Beautiful Woman or woman. That’s all in a nutshell, but where does the term come from besides the obvious?
Only in the United States could the term in question exist and was born or coined in 1979, although it had been used as slang for many, many years before. This is the date it became known to the American public when Carole Shaw’s publication titled “BBW Magazine” made its world debut. What was a fashion magazine that talked about lifestyle for plus size women coined a phrase that has become the subject of thousands of conversations.
While that may have been the public christening of the word, big, beautiful women have been admired throughout much of our history. Peter Paul Rubens, a famous painter who was born in the year 1577, is known for his fabulous paintings depicting women who were larger than life.
The term has grown to include many different body styles and shapes. It not only refers to women who are fat or obese, but it also refers to women who may be slightly overweight or thick and anywhere in between.
By today’s standard, famous women like Marylin Monroe could be considered BBW. Just think of all the scandals throughout history that voluptuous women have been a part of.
Many women today are more than proud to call themselves great and beautiful women and they should be. They are beautiful and they know it and flaunt it with their every move. They are sexy and deserve the attention that men give them. In fact, men all over the world are mesmerized by them. Just think of all the songs in the past that were written exclusively about big women. The theme has been in everything from rock to rap songs, and today it has become even more popular with the power of technology.
There are a few other similar acronyms worth knowing about, especially if you like bigger women. There’s SSBBW, which takes the term one step further. These women are not only big, but they are big, beautiful women of great size. Another popular one is BBBW. This acronym refers to big and beautiful black women.
