Add the word "Bheebeeb" to the Cambridge Dictionary

The Issue

For nearly a decade, the word "bheebeeb" has been a part of our city's culture. The word is defined as both a greeting and a slang term meaning "children", "people" or "friends". The most common use is a greeting involving one's nose being gently pinched, usually out of affection or love for the person receiving. This word has been made popular by Maria Hensley, who is also credited for being the creator of the greeting and slang term. By signing this petition, you are contributing to the growth of the City of Borger's culture by demanding that Cambridge Dictionary add the word.
