vibes as in "i'm getting strange vibes from her" is like pervading feelings, somewhat like ethereal quality. think of it as vibrations and you can tell people's vibes if you're good at reading people's emotions. its basically feelings.

A lot of people use it as a sense of feeling. Like if you get negative vibes, it means you just feel weird around someone.

Well the "vibe" im getting is that English is not your first language. This means from what i have read or seen my "feeling","intuition", or "thoughts" are that you do not understand what this word means, because English is not your first language. this dose not mean i am right, it's just the "vibe" im getting! :]

In a percussionist's shoes, its short for vibraphone.

English is my first language and I've never really been sure what vibes means, nor have I ever heard anyone say it. Must be an American thing.

Vibes for me is feeling...that comes just plain to me.

It's also used for places in the same manner as it's used for people. "This place has a good vibe."

Ok, since you took slight offence to me thinking you did not speak English as your first language, i went to extra effort for you and made a visit to my VERY GOOD friend at Hotforwords (i wish!!!) Marina Orlova, she’s 27 and she’s a philologist! Now you might be asking what the heck is a philologist? Well, it’s someone who studies linguistics and etymology.. and in Marina’s case.. she has applied her Philology degrees to specializing in word origins.

Her offsider, BOB from Wiki tells me VIBES is short for Vibrations. Hopefully Marina will get back to me on the origin/s of VIBE/S. And before you go off all excited and hit her up for "what is a Palindrome", well shes already done it, probably some NP's beat me to it. Here it is
