what is the origin of dubya?and in what different context it is used world-wide?

Answer 1

Dubya is the nickname given President George W. Bush, our 43rd president, to distinguish him from his father President George Herbert Walker Bush, our 41st president.

According to USAWeekend.com, Columnist Molly Ivins coined it in 1995; it's the spelled-out Texas-drawl version of Bush's middle initial (for "Walker"). Her editor at the "Fort Worth Star-Telegram" tells us Ivins "owned 'Dubya' from the mid-'90s to 1999, then it caught on with everyone else." Well, not really everyone. Close friends call Bush "George W." His dad sometimes calls him "Quincy," a reference to John Quincy Adams, the only son of a president to become president. And almost everybody else calls him "Mr. President." The formality of the Oval Office has not dashed Bush's affinity for nicknames: Condoleezza Rice is "Guru," Karen (Parfitt) Hughes is "High Prophet" and Laura Bush is often "First," as in "first lady."

Answer 2

i was told it has to do with Prez Clinton taking all the letter W's off the keyboards of the White house computers as a joke. It is George W. Bush's middle name get it? Hence he is called "dubya" as a slander to him being country, redneck, stupid, backwards whatever you want to say. It is to put down the President. It is also to separate him from the former George Bush who is his father. I personally don't call him that but there are several people that do. Anyway, hope that answers your question....its your choice whether or not to use this term
