The structure is a clipped shortening of "babe" or "baby," dropping the final vowel sound for a quicker, more casual term of endearment. It is used in British English, particularly in the East Midlands (especially Leicester, Nottingham, and Derby), as a friendly or affectionate way to address someone, similar to "love," "dear," or "hun." People typically say "Thanks, bab" or "Alright, bab?"
