Talk:gib
Isn't this tied to "gibbet" or "giblet" ?
The term has been around longer than Quake. In w:Rise of the Triad, when a large amount of guts were splattered, a message would appear saying Ludicrous Gibs!. --Vladisdead 06:15, 6 Jul 2004 (UTC)
pronunciation[edit]
Is the g in gib hard or soft?
- Merriam-Webster and American Heritage give it as a hard g for both the "bolt, wedge" meaning and the "castrated cat" meaning; the Oxford Concise gives it as either hard or soft for the "bolt, wedge" meaning only (it doesn't have the "castrated cat" meaning). Angr 07:15, 30 September 2008 (UTC)

Abbreviation of gibibit. DTLHS (talk) 17:38, 15 January 2020 (UTC)
- I found one occurrence, although more a mention (in a table) than a true use in running text: [1]. Confusing and very much not recommended. I also spotted this oddity, but here I think “gibibit” is a mistake for “gibibyte”. --Lambiam 14:49, 16 January 2020 (UTC)
- If the table weren't a table of definitions, I would have called it a use. Our formula of "use in running text" would exclude it anyway, but wrongly, I think. DCDuring (talk) 14:02, 14 February 2020 (UTC)
