Get the Gabmug. 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

Get the Gabmug. A kind soul with a big heart, does her best not to give in, she may be stupid and acts goofy all the time but she's smarter than it seems and is ready to take on anyone who hurts the people she holds close. She's insecure and shy, even has resting b** face, but once you get to know her she is the nicest person you'll ever know, forgiving all the time, but she has her limits, she's quick and if needed could be manipulative. A fighter at heart. A goddess among queens

Get the Gab Hate Daymug. Gab-bing
"Gabbing" (non-formal) is the verb that comes from the acronym "Gab" (giggled a bit).
This verb is used mostly in text when someone sends you something that's funny but doesn't get to the point where you start laughing, so you just giggle a bit (gab), therefore you start gabbing.
