suby

Suby is a casual shorthand derived from Subaru, used primarily in automotive circles to refer to Subaru vehicles or the brand’s enthusiast community. The term is often spelled Suby, though Subie is the more common variant in many online contexts; usage varies by region and personal preference.

In conversation and online posts, speakers may refer to their car as “a Suby” or speak of the Suby community, clubs, or content creators associated with Subaru. The term is particularly prevalent in North American car forums, social media, and hobbyist groups, where it serves as a friendly, informal identifier rather than a formal model name.

Outside automotive usage, Suby can appear as a surname or given name in rare cases, but there is no widely recognized meaning beyond the car-culture shorthand. If used outside of Subaru contexts, the interpretation depends on the surrounding text.

Because suby does not have a formal dictionary definition, its meaning is determined by context. See also Subaru and Subie.
