Dibs

This article is about the cultural convention. For the Arab sweet, see Pekmez.

Calling "dibs" is the American English term, also known as "bags" in Australia and New Zealand, and as "bagsies" in UK and Ireland, for an informal convention where one declares a first claim to something to which no one else has a clearly recognized right. [1]
