chib

chib
I
Scottish Vernacular Dictionary
noun: A non-projectile weapon. May be blunt or sharp, can include razors, lead pipes, bits of wood with nails hammered in, Stanley knives, etc... . Possibly the main feature that these will have in common is that a chib is something which has been adopted for use as a weapon, possibly with ingenious modifications, rather than something originally designed for that purpose. So a survivalist knife with a 10-inch blade wi the wee jaggy bits (What ur they fur anyway?) is probably not a chib. crossbow or catapult is similarly not a chib. A Star Trek phaser is not a chib. Probably connected to the word shiv. Prounced Tchib. A chibbing is an attack from such an implement.
verb: To employ a chib - usually against another human being, but often against a ned. One who has been subjected to attack with a chib is said to have been chibbed.
Example: Hey, did ye see that pigeon chibbin that seagull wi the Irn Bru boattle? Ah'm no sayin it's a rough pub, but if the chucker-oot frisks ye an disnae fun a chib, he gies ye wan!
