I saw the word "Fidibus" in LEO and couldn't quite believe it was genuine, but it is confirmed by Kluge as a bit of archaic student slang: "Vielleicht scherzhafte Entstellung der Horazstelle ture et fidibus (Ode 1,36,1) 'mit Weihrauch und Saiten(spiel)', wobei Weihrauch auf das Rauchen bezogen und fidibus scherzhaft umgedeutet worden wäre." Merkwürdig!
