Is Boba short for Roberta? One of life's mysteries.

Was curious. The "bo" part actually comes from English "ball" and the "ba" part means large. So "big balls" but can be used colloquially to mean big breasted woman in Cantonese.

I'll have to remember that for next time I'm in Canton.

Bob is short for Robert. So, probably!
