Definition
Slippery or slick in texture; alternatively, characterized by glib or superficial speech.
Etymology
Likely a variant or blend of 'glibber' with the diminutive suffix '-y' or influenced by 'slippery.' The word combines the slippery physical sense with the speech sense of 'glib.'
Kelly Says
English has so many ways to describe slipperiness—slippery, slick, slithery, glibbery—each with slightly different textures in how they sound, almost like the words themselves are slippery!
