Three enemies being gibbed, plus two gib corpses on the ground
Gibs is short for giblets, or fowl innards. They are the little bits of internal organs, flesh and bone that are left when a player or monster has not only died, but has exploded into body parts. Adrian Carmack is credited with coining the term, and Doom is one of the first games that gibs appeared in.
