An expression, announced when, during a conversation, the speaker accidentally
spits or sprays saliva in the listener's face. Either speaker or listener will
say 'spibib' in order to acknowledge the occurrence, and to remove potential embarrassment from either party, before the
spit is wiped off face.
Similar to gesundheit, 'spibib' is intended to provoke a joyful reaction to counter social embarrassment. It's formed of '
spit' and 'bib', in a situation where the bib is the listener's face.

Laura: "SPIBIB!"
Dave: Hahaha. ("Laura is lovely, and realises I didn't mean to spit in her face... phew... I love her".) Sorry!
Laura: Hahaha. It happens to the best of us. Let's totally go to the film!
