غَنّوج |
اسم طعام من الباذنجان المشوي يقشر ويدق ويخلط بالزيت والثوم وعصير الحامض أو عصير الرمان والبقدونس المفروم. وفي تعليل التسمية ذهب الأسدي في "موسوعة حلب: ٤٧" إلى أنه حين يدقّ لينماع يهرب من بطش الدقماق لائذاً بالجوانب ممّا "وّلد في خيال مسمّيه أنه يغنج غنج النساء. ولسان حالهّن بهذا الدلال يقول: ما بدّي ما بدّي" ويسمون البابا غنّوج المخبّص (لهجة حلبية).
(ياسين عبد الرحيم، موسوعة العامية السورية)

بابا |
daddy, dad, papa, pop; (no plural)
(said bAAbA, i.e. with the emphatic vowels.)
بابا is the most slang way of addressing a father. أب or أَبي (father or my father respectively) is a step up, and then والِد is more formal. You can imagine them as "daddy", "dad" and "father" if that helps put things in order.
