3 How can you have the heebie-jeebies for Mr. Boggles-worth? Look at him.
4 A ghost touched me in my sleep and I got the rite heebie-jeebies.
5 Don't start talking about aunt Doreen - she gives me such the heebie-jeebies.
6 I don't mind most insects, but spiders really give me the heebie-jeebies.
7 Seeing a spider, even on the TV, always gives me the heebie-jeebies.

Get the Heebie Jeebies mug.According to Arin Hanson from Game Grumps: Desert Jellies are what the navy calls it when you jerk off in the shower, since you rarely get any alone time except for when you're in the shower.
