Get the tiberius gambit mug."Tibey" is a short word used for "tiburon" which means "shark" in spanish. Usually anyone with the nickname "tiburon" will be called "tibey" for short.
"Tibey" was used on the movie "Revenge" where the bad guy -portrayed by Anthony Quinn- "Tiburon" Mendez was called "Tibey" by his associates. The nickname is also clearly seen written down on an invitation card on one of the scenes.
