Hi Jeff,
The acronym is actually "FIB" and becomes "Fibbies" in common speech. FIB is
an acronym for three words - the second is Illinois and the third is Bastard.
You can figure out what the first is.
I first heard it in everyday speech in southern Wisconsin and actually saw it
in use on a billboard there advertising Greyhound dog racing - "Faster than a
speeding Fibbie". The driving habits of those from Illinois are not
appreciated in Wisconsin.
