Cultural Note
Stands for 'beau gosse' (handsome dude). In the age of texting, French youth compressed the compliment into two letters because apparently 'beau gosse' was too many syllables. Used primarily for men but 'belle gosse' exists for women (BG works for both in text). It's the French equivalent of sliding into DMs with 'ur hot' but with more cultural cachet. Dropping a 'BG' in someone's comments is peak French flirtation efficiency.
