SLSL "TSR" _bebi_

[pynchonoid]

" 'Come on, _bebi_,' he said to the Coke machine and
kicked it viciously. "  (31)

Perhaps a distortion of the French bebe (baby), a
reflection of the French-speaking Cajun culture of the
region, maybe or the first of that fake French that
Pynchon returns to later, in a famous GR pun, and with
M&D's Armand Allegre, although, anachronistically the
Web is full of it these days:
