BB/BS
- noun Abbreviation for 'big brother/big sister'; usually
fully capitalised. In some incarnations of MUD, most notably
BL (where the term arose), mortal wizzes are assigned an
experienced wiz to instruct them in the ways of wizdom. A
wizard would be a BB, a witch
would be a BS. There's no generic
'big sibling' term, so BB/BS is used. The game management
strategy of using BB/BSs is referred to as having a
"BB/BS
programme" (or "program" for American spellers). See
perm, wiz bit, mentor.
