"Ben, your such a [Big Gay] Bear - dude, I want to be like you." Or "Ben-bear, I wanna to be like you."
The name given to those who are too cool for school. They possess bear like qualities - big, royal, handsome etc. I'm not referring to its use in gay circles but it is now used for boys and girls alike. It may be used by one girl to another e.g. :-
" Hey sis bear, give me a hug!" Even teachers may be called this - say a teacher's surname is Hannam, he may be referred to as Han-bear.
Is there a Greek equivalent blanket/meaningless word?

Comment: "Thanks to you both for your efforts. Eleni has also informed me of the female equivalents. I have traced the origin of this usage. See http://southernbelleoflondontown.blogspot.com/2011/01/hey-bear-its-me-bear.html. it arose from a BBC programme on the subject and spread to general female use rapidly after that."

θηρίο
Είναι το πρώτο που μου ήρθε στο μυαλό. Ίσως με τα σημερινά δεδομένα να ακούγεται απαρχαιομένο πλέον, αλλά νομίζω πως αποδίδει το νόημα.
"Θηρίο είσαι, ρε Μπεν! Θά'θελα νάμαι σαν εσένα!"
"Γειά σου ρε θηρίο Μπεν!Πόσο θέλω να σου μοιάσω!"
"Γειά σου, θηρίο! Κόλλα το!"
"Θηρίο είσαι, ρε Μπεν! Θά'θελα νάμαι σαν εσένα!"
