OH MY!
Too funny, we just had some tornados whip thru my area recently and when it happens they like to F-up normal scheduled TV programing to make it the local news.
Anywho whenever they do it they like to get people on the phone from the area to tell what they are seeing or have seen... so they get this caller talking about all the trees and barns knocked down and the caller say he thinks he knows who did it and when the news caster gets yoinked asking who the called shouts out BABA BOOYEE did it!

because on seedbay there are some Dr. Atomic Nepal Baba seeds. that have a discription as follows: "A very exotic variety from the hills of Nepal. Double back crossed to Northern Lights, the original seeds were obtained from a Shiva Baba who smokes for spiritual enlightenment; the seeds were gifted to me by the holy man before my departure. Full of sweet spicy flavor, the Nepal Baba is a truly sublime variety."

Verite is on the right track there. Baba is used as an epithet to lovingly call out to ones guru - roughly translates to Father or beloved. In Greek and other languages it also translates to father. Some traditions use it as a mantra - chanting Baba Nam Kevalam (Beloved Name Only).

yeh, "baba" often means father
so in Hindi and similar Indian languages it can be used as a respectful and or afffectionate way to refer to someone, be it an elderly or revered person
it needn't necessarily be a guru, it could equally just be an oldster to whom one wishes to be polite, or to flatter etc.
loads of languages have the similar basic sound for "father" - including also Chinese, Arabic etc.
in the context of the Nepal Baba seeds - well the baba in question was likely a sadhu (a wandering holyman) of some kind, probably a Saivite (devotee of the Hindhu god Shiva) - hence out of repect he would addressed as "baba"
the sadhus I met around the Ganges in India were often "Naga babas" - their practices and devotions focused on serpent beings called Nagas, and associated serpentine energies
Nagas are said to frequent rivers often, though there are various kinds - they feature in the folkore of Thailand and Laos a great deal
in Buddhist myth you frequently see the Buddha shaded by a seven headed Naga (after his enlightenment - incidentally, the creature could be an esoteric represntation of the seven cranial nerves)

i call my dad baba. i am arabic
These are probably the most well reknowned babas in the world:

Baba is also a brand of gutka, or Indian chewing tobacco. It's incredibly bad for you thanks to the chemicals they add to it to increase its effect.
Finally, there's a coffeeshop by that name in Amsterdam. I wasn't very happy with their hash.
