Etymology
Introduced in the 2001 movie entitled "DUDE,
WHERE'S MY CAR", the word "shibby" is used numerous times as slang replacement
for adjectives, verbs, nouns, proper names... Ashton
Kutchner who portrays Jesse in the film had this to say when asked about
the actual meaning of the word:
KUTCHNER: "I think it comes
from Phil Stark's hypothetical world. Originally in the movie, Shibby was
to mean marijuana, ganja, pot, weed...just another wonderful name for it.
When the studio decided to change the movie to PG-13 the drugs got taken
out, and it became just another word for "cool." It was a responsible decision
on the studio's behalf. We don't really want to advertise illegal substances
to children...like we do on our show (That '70s Show). (laughs)"
