    Hibees or Hibbies

    For a bit of fun.

    I've noticed a few times that some people use the term Hibbies on here and Twitter. Other like myself write it as Hibees.

    I've always written Hibees or singular Hibby.

    What is your preferred option or do you have a completely different spelling

    It's a tough one, but i suppose I would say that I am a Hibby that supports the Hibees.

    Not that it matters as we are all one big happy Hibee family.

    Just interested to see what most of us write or say when we talk about ourselves.

    Correct.

    And an individual Hibs player is a Hibee (unless of course they're a Hibs-supporting Hibee, which would make them a Hibby).

    I've always been a Hibee.
    Mature, sensible signature required for responsible position. Good prospects for the right candidate. Apply within.

    We've just done a local straw poll, all four of us, and this is the answer

    "I did not need any persuasion to play for such a great club, the Hibs result is still one of the first I look for"

    Many years ago, when the number 1 bus was a circle route, there used to be a guy who would get on somewhere around Fountainbridge iirc, and proudly, and repeatedly, announce to everyone on the bus, "Ah'm a Hibby".

    I prefer to shout "Come on Hibs" than "Come on Hibees", but "Hibees, Hibees, Hibees" is fine.

    I'm a Hibby and my pals are Hibbies. Female Hibs fans are Hibbies too.

    Baby fans are Hibettes.

    In my wee super duper Collins Scots dictionary, published 1995, it defines:

    Hibee (pronounced High-bee or Hib-bee). A Hibee is a supporter of Hibernian Football Club, who are nicknamed the Hibees.

    Always called it the Cave, never heard it called the coo shed until a couple of years ago on here. Will always be the Cave to me !
