Gab Up

1960s expression slang among Mods for taking time effort & money to get dressed up to look your best.
Mods a 1960s youth subculture who embraced Modern Jazz & Modern style of dress especially sharp well tailored sartorial looks eg tightly cut mohair suits, short dresses & bobbed hair for girls. Mods were working class youth who embraced style as weapon against their assigned place in society, a rebellion of upward aspiration to outdo middle classes less clued up about style. Lambretta & Vespa scooters subverted & customized as a 'weapon' of expression & identity too, as motorcycles greasy & unsuitable for smart clothes. Pitched battles took place Mods & Rockers/Greasers in 1960s seafront bank holiday rallies. The subculture existed from 1963-1969 then again in revival 1977-82, & remains a style even today. Music included The Who, Small Faces & Tamla Motown, & in 70s manifestation The Jam The Chords & Secret Affair.

Wide use as an expression in 1960s, these days in daily use generally confined to those who work in rag trade (often ethnic minority) especially tailors, retail fashion, or Mod culture itself

"To get dressed, something that could take a very long time indeed, especially when you remember the lengths your average mod would go to in order to get their clothes ready for wear. That thing about sitting in a bath wearing a pair of Levi’s to shrink them down to a skin-tight fit, that must’ve taken DAYS." Fraser McAlpine of BBC America
"Gab Up darlin' we're going to The 100 Club tonight"
"I'm not gettin' all gabbed up if we're not going anywhere"
"I quite fancy a day at the races mate come all let's gab up and go to Doncaster for the Leger"

gabs

Super whiny and childish. Over reacts about everything. Brags about good grades but has nagged the teacher and has barely done any herself. She thinks all the boys are in love with her, and thinks everybody is impressed when she does completely average things. Relies on her mother too much. If you tell her about your personal issues after she asks if you're okay she will complain that you rely on her too often. Is not smart enough to voice her own opinions so just kinda goes along with what her mother thinks. Very annoying and a bad friend but everyone pities her because she does't have a stable set of friends. Tells everyone that she hasn't seen high school musical and will never watch it because she "got bullied" about being called Gabriella.
"that boy is so looking at me! Isn't he hot?"
"you're over reacting gabs. You're sitting in front of the screen and he's trying to watch the film."
