Etymology
The word 'gabs' likely originates from the Scottish dialect, where 'gab' means 'to talk' or 'to chatter'. Its use in English slang can be traced back to the late 20th century, where it became popular in informal speech to describe conversational exchanges. The transformation from a Scottish term to broader English usage illustrates how dialectal terms can evolve and find new contexts in modern language. Over time, 'gabs' has solidified its place in colloquial use, particularly in social interactions among friends and acquaintances, where casual conversation thrives.
