To put the kibosh on a fun event is correct but my grandmother from County Kerry, Ireland, not a learned person, but who spoke Irish, said it referred to a cap that was traditionally placed on the head of the deceased during a wake. It was spelled Caipin bais,but pronounced "ki - bosh." — This unsigned comment was added by User:Ramaporoge (talk • contribs).
Adding on to what User:Ramaporage said, I live in New York and I thought it came from Yiddish, like "kitsch". If the Irish, the Americans, and the Australians all use the same word, that does suggest an Irish origin. 2603:7000:D03A:5895:C0A3:4261:3C20:1CEC 17:26, 4 September 2024 (UTC)Reply
