tr. & intr.v., bibbed, bib·bing, bibs.

[Probably from Middle English bibben, to drink heartily, from Latin bibere.]

The ruff or longer hair around the chest area in some breeds of cats.

The portion of a Navy enlisted uniform that hangs from the back of the neck. In the wooden navy it was fashion for sailors to have long hair but it would get blown about by the winds and get stuck in the rigging or machinery. To counteract this sailors at sea would braid their hair and dip it in tar (used to seal the boards on the ship). When ashore on liberty (as opposed to a longer leave where they would wash the tar out of the hair) they would cut a bib out of sack cloth and tie it around their neck to keep from getting tar on their one good shirt. The bib eventually became an official part of the enlisted uniform.

IN BRIEF: Article of clothing worn around the neck to keep clothes clean, especially on a baby.

He put the bib on the baby before lunch.

Tutor's tip: A "bib" is a napkin tied under the chin, a "bibb" is part of a ship's mast, and also a type of lettuce.
