is 부비부비 an onomatopoeia? --Bluesoju 23:55, 29 December 2009 (UTC)

No, it is not an onomatopeoia(의성어). I think 부비부비 is a kind of 의태어(mimetic word).
I think 부비부비 is from "남자와 여자가 클럽에서 몸을 비비다(or 부비다)".
But i'm not sure.^^; Anyway, 부비부비 is a new word(slang), used for young people.

Hi Jay^^ I had heard from a friend that that's the noise when two things rub together? Also a slang for "grinding" (dance) --Bluesoju 10:02, 30 December 2009 (UTC)
