Talk:dibs

Possible missing sense
Peril at End House, a TV episode of Agatha Christie's Poirot (and perhaps also the original book), has the slang phrase "What if all the dibs is coming to Miss Buckley?". I think this refers to an inheritance, so it could possibly be the "claiming a right" sense that we already have, or it might be slang for money. Equinox ◑ 21:08, 12 September 2018 (UTC)

Dibs means I get the hammock
is "dibs means..." a usual form of expressing dibs? --Backinstadiums (talk) 10:31, 19 March 2020 (UTC)

Antonym?
Does Wiktionary do antonyms? Because I would call Not In Goals (NIGS)  but I'm not sure it gets much use anymore because it sounds too much like a racial slur. -- 109.79.172.92 21:10, 1 December 2021 (UTC)


 * "Dibs" isn't specifically about goalkeeping, but apparently "NIGS" is, so it's not really an antonym. We should probably have an entry for it though. A Google search suggests it was used in Ireland. Equinox ◑ 21:21, 1 December 2021 (UTC)
