Binabs ! ?
18 Answers
My father never called me by my Christian name, only as either 'son' or 'Binabs' which I accepted as being expressions of affection.
Long after he died in 1964, I was 30 by then, I began to wonder where the the term ' Binabs' (Sp ?) came from. I've never heard it since then and cannot find any clue to its origin . Any ideas ?
Cheers. D. ( Binabs )

Barry, it was pronounced BINabs as in Bin Laden ! and my dad was born and bred in the City (of London) in 1898 as was I until we all moved to SE London in 1937.
bhg. I'll never know !
gns " When I looked it up, Derek, I got that it meant Beanbag....I think that's rather sweet "
Doesn't sound like me - or my dad, but thanks anyway. Incidentally, where did you 'look it up' ? Cheers. D
