The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Two Republican lawmakers are working on a bill to put Charlie Kirk’s likeness on silver dollar coins.

They better be careful. Idolize him a bit too much, and they will offend his nibs' ego.

oops, there's another Steveism I forgot to elaborate on.

Actually a real term, not a Steveism.

"His nibs" is an informal and often facetious or mocking title for a person in authority, especially one who is self-important, demanding, or tyrannical. The term is used humorously, replacing more formal titles like "His Majesty," to refer to someone with power.

Key Aspects

Informal & Mocking: It's a colloquial term, used in a lighthearted or sarcastic way.

Person in Authority: It refers to someone who is in a position of power, such as a boss, teacher, or any authoritative figure.

Self-Importance: The phrase often carries the implication that the person is arrogant or overly proud of their status.
"Her Nibs": The term can also be used in its female form, "her nibs".

Origin: The exact origin is uncertain, but it may have evolved from older slang terms for wealth, high social standing, or the human head. In the game of cribbage, a Jack can also be referred to as "nibs".


Steve...praise him, praise him, praise him, HBTT
