/Sounds like "HEH" (as in "help") + "bee" (as in "bee")/
Meaning
In the Dominican Republic, cool, dope, or good vibes. The word comes from the English "heavy," adapted to Dominican phonetics where the h became a hard j. A quick, casual compliment for anything worth noticing, used by young and old alike on the street and on social media.
Examples
“That song is really cool, I had never heard it before.”
“The new restaurant on the corner is fire, you have to go.”
