I’m also from the 60s but this one is new to me, and I’m pretty sure km from the globe even if the earth is now flat.
And to be clear I’ve heard of crib notes but its the adaptation to cribbing that is me. Cribbing is part of cribbage.
No, that’s something different. Cliff notes is an actual notebook series of summaries of commonly taught literature and maybe other things. Crib notes is a literal cheat sheet for an exam.
I heard it in the 80s-90s and come from the 70s. But my parents used it too I believe. At least they knew what the word was. They were form the early 1950s.
This is the first time I’m hearing it. I’m not exactly young…
“Crib Notes”. Term used globally since the 60’s.

I highly doubt it was used globally.
Also
Also, upon looking into the term crib notes it appears that’s been used since the 1800s.
I lived in 4 English speaking countries in the 80’s, and it was definitely used everywhere. NA, SEA, and AU. All used that term.
I’ve heard cribbed and cribbing in aus (90s-00s school) but never knew the etymology!
