lib

Shared code package

Lib is an informal shortening of liberal, usually in a dismissive or hostile sense: The libs are losing their minds over this.

It appears often in political speech from the right, including the phrase own the libs—to provoke or upset liberals for sport.

In computing, lib is short for library, a collection of prewritten code.
