The word 'Baby'

[Barnfather]

After ploughing through all the WSOP 2007 ESPN coverage (downloaded), I have to say that I feel like throwing something at the TV next time I hear someone routinely add 'baby' to the end of a sentence.

Yeah thats right baby, I'm gonna get a bracelet baby, you know it baby, its all good baby, i can dodge bullets baby, you can't mess with me baby, i'm ready to play baby, lets play poker baby

For gods sake shut it!

Its bad enough when the usual morons are saying it every two seconds (cough, Hellmuth, cough), but some chinese bloke who could barely speak english was saying it on the coverage. And an Iranian....I mean come on!

Anyway, sorry to vent. But you know what its like baby

Scotty Nguyen is not "some chinese bloke." Although he is a bit wierd.

[rfph1]

Of Vietnamese origin I think.

ROFL @ "some chinese bloke"

[Barnfather]

Its not just Scotty, and it wasn't Scotty I was referring to although he is one of the main offenders

Seriously, in one episode I heard numerous players using it - plus some others who were caught by the camera floorwalking

When scotty is at the table people will always say it. Thats his catch phrase baby

The only other "Chinese" looking bloke I can think of that is a little bit crazy and might be using that term is Men "The Master" Nguyen his catch phrase is "All you can eat baby"
(Jokes by the way i know he is also Vietnamese)
