0Hi,02br
02br
00I wouldn't advise English learners to start using this word, or most people will think they are odd, or may laugh.02br

00Anyway, apparently it really only represents a corrupted pronunciation of the original word, 'beau'. I doubt very much that very many people who say this will ever get around to writing it, unless of course they are
