Does the word 'gilby' for snot exist?

[David H]

If anyone else heard LBC last night a taxi driver called in about sneezing in the taxi and called the resulting effluence 'gilby' landing all over his steering wheel. I know taxi drivers use their own words often based on Romany, has anyone else ever come across this as it's not anywhere else I've looked?

See- I looked there but didn't think it was short for Gilbert! I will phone LBC tomorrow and ask the guy directly as well as I always like new rude words.
I learnt another one yesterday- biffy. Totally new to me for toilet.

You learn something new every day! I wonder if taxi drivers let anyone list their slang online as they do have their own complete set of words borrowed from elsewhere.
