What is the meaning of ebejeebies?

Answer 1

This is a colloquial term, and my understanding of being given: 'the ebe-gee-bees' or 'the eb-gee-bees' is to be frightened, spooked or given the creeps by something, someone or an unexplained or eerie occurrence

This would usually be associated with an unusual situation that would be unfamiliar or unknown to the affected individual and for which they can find no reasonable or logical explanation.

Perhaps an example of this could be in a haunted property where a feeling of severe unease comes across a person, sending shivers down the spine, a tingling feeling running throughout the whole nervous system and a chilled sensation in the air where they stand.

Therefore, in this situation the affected individual would say something like: "This place really gives be the ebe-gee-bees". Dr.Isaac
