/jib/ 1. vi. To destroy utterly. Like frag , but much more violent and
final. There's no trace left. You definitely gibbed that bug. 2. n. Remnants
after total obliteration. Originated first by id software in the game Quake.
It's short for giblets (thus pronounced jib ), and referred to the bloody
remains of slain opponents. Eventually the word was verbed, and leaked into
general usage afterward.
