They had forgotten they had to learn the alphabet for today �s test... Teacher dictated: N, I, B, L, I, N, G! John wrote: An, I, be, ... a lion, gee! Jenny wrote: Ann, eye, bee, Al, Ian, ...sol! |

Nibling: short form for a no-bib darling, i.e. a toddler who has mastered the spoon and no longer requires a bib because she can eat without getting her clothes messy. Origin: toddler-speak pronunciation of Mum�s praise for not needing a bib, also the drunken slurred version heard in drinking establishments uttered by fathers driven to drink by lack of sleep because baby wakes every 2 hours all night long.
