    What does BG stand for? What kind of novels does it refer to? I see this all over the place!

    BoyGirl. It refers to straight romance as opposed to GL (Girl’s Love) or BL (Boy’s Love).

    Straight isn't PC anymore as it implies anything else is 'crooked'. :blobpeek:

    Fun fact: the Chinese way of saying "I'd go gay for him" is "I would bend for him".

    Hi, luoxinle, I found a few terms on the subject. I want to share.

    It means Bellum Gallicum in books and there is a book with the same name (isbn: 1330740637).
    Another term is Bello Gallico.
    Ref: BG Meaning in Book

    In the movie, it is short for Bobcat Goldthwait.
    In archeology, the abbreviation for BibliothèQue GéNéRale is also the name of a library.

    Some says it's Big Guy or Big Girl. But actually, it means Boerjtek Gtijfula. It's from hojela. Boerj means Bored and tek means Tektok. Gtijfula is the username. You're welcome
