Should GIBS (as in graz International Bilingual School be incorporated into the Gib disambiguition? And should the Disambiguition be called Gib/Gibs then? --Frauerika (talk) 13:44, 21 February 2009 (UTC)Reply

This page needs fixing up badly.

Gib - slang - the small patch of hair found under the bottom lip of a male or female, particularly similar to that found on Stuart from the popular australian soap "Neighbours" - E.G. "I don't like the cut of your GIB"

"Cut of your jib" is the usual spelling of the expression (originally nautical). AnonMoos

Gib (disambiguation)Gib – move over redirect. The page "Gib" (ostensibly the primary topic) has been correctly moved to Jib (crane) because "gib" is an archaic spelling. Option A There is now no primary topic, so move this disambiguation page to the base name. Option B Gibraltar is the primary topic. Redirect Gib to Gibraltar, place a redirect hatnote, and leave the dab page where it is. Please support either Option A or Option B (or propose another primary topic).
