M.B.n.

Brit.

/ˈɛm biː/, U.S.

/ˈɛm ˌbi/

Origin: Formed within English, as an initialism. Etymon: mark of the beast n. at mark n.¹ 12c

Etymology: Initialism < mark of the beast n. at mark n.¹ 12c, used with humorous allusion to the belief of some Anglicans that the waistcoat thus designated was characteristically worn by clergymen influenced by or inclined to Roman Catholicism.

Now rare. Perhaps Obsolete.

attributive (chiefly in M.B. waistcoat). Designating a kind of waistcoat with no opening in front, formerly worn by certain Anglican clergymen.Originally (c1840) such waistcoats were worn only by adherents of the Tractarian party, but afterwards they were adopted by many belonging to other schools.
