michael with a b

Intermediate 📱 Gen-Z / Internet Slang

Definition

A person whose name is Michael but they're terrified of bees—a pun-based descriptor that plays on the homophone 'B' sound. The joke works better when you understand the irony of their name literally containing what they fear most.

Example Usage

My friend Michael has severe apiphobia, so we call him 'Michael with a b' whenever a bee buzzes nearby.
