slang for Jew, short for Hebrew (descended from Habiri, the old philistine word for Hebrew). Popularized in "The Life of Brian" by Monty Python
"I'm a jew! I'm a yid, a heebie, a hook-nose, a Red Sea pedestrian! I'm Kosher momma, and I'm proud of it!"

A feeling of being in a crowd of mostly Jewish people. Used lightheartedly to acknowledge that a particular location is favored by Jews.
This is not to be confused with heebie-jeebies, except to the extent that such confusion enhances the perceived funniness.

heebie-jeebies is a condition of extreme nervousness caused by fear, worry, strain, etc.; the jitters; the willies (usually preceded by something of the following):
1. Being alone in the dark gives me the heebie-jeebies.
2 The speech therapist said she got the heebie-jeebies.
3 How can you have the heebie-jeebies for Mr. Boggles-worth? Look at him.
4 A ghost touched me in my sleep and I got the rite heebie-jeebies.
5 Don't start talking about aunt Doreen - she gives me such the heebie-jeebies.
6 I don't mind most insects, but spiders really give me the heebie-jeebies.
7 Seeing a spider, even on the TV, always gives me the heebie-jeebies.
8 For a code-quality addict like myself, this combination drastically reduces the heebie-jeebies and allows me to get to what I like doing best: writing bullet-proof software.
Origin
Said to be in the 1920's
