"splibby" and "splabibs"

Hello!!

I would like to know the possible meanings of the words "splibby" and "splabibs" in the first stanza of Harryette Mullen's poem below.

Elsewhere on-line I found out a short story with the following dialogue containing "splibby": "You expect me to believe a splibby girl from East Oakland don’t give up nookie?” He starts laughing."

or "The times are changing, splibby. Surprise yourself".

Any feedback will be really helpful. Thanks a lot, Laumont.
