So, if I don't think it means 'looks like someone guys would want to

As a nickname, Bambi generally means babe in the woods, where babe means
baby.

I was talking about my reactions to the term babelicious, and then you
wieghed in on the subject of Bambi and I did a "whooop....er, ...what?"

You are changing the subject on purpose, I assume?


No, I thought you were changing the subject. I sorry. My bad.

I do remember the thread, although I didn't add much to it. I'll go on line saying that Bambi wouldn't bother me, I'd assume she hung onto it to play against type.

babelicious, on the other hand, is purely a physical descriptor. I'd say sexy, trim, desirable, and not a particularly reverent term. It's, IMO, a youth term, used in secure knowledge that it will offend the politically sensitive, but not intended to demean the woman in question. Whether it does or not, is in the eye of the beholder.
