Gabby Awareness Day

When someone is offended really easily you would consider them as a gabby. Example would be calling gabby, her, instead of they. They are considered to be liberal bitches who use there boyfriends success as there own. If you see a weird girl with blue hair who gets offended easily for not identifying her as a helicopter she would be considered a gabby.
