"We had a neighbor once and she was N-E-B-B-Y!" grandma stated as we discuss how we love the neighbors at our new house. My immidiate thought was "n-e-b-b-y... what word IS that?" I'm not the best speller, but surely I can decipher a short little word like that. She quickly followed up with, "but at least we knew nothing would happen to our place while we were gone." Oh yes! Nebby... one of those Pittsburgh words - who even knows where it came from.
nebby - adj - offensively nosey, or over concerned with someone else's business. "the neighbors were nebby and never stopped watching us"
