Etymology
Shabu comes from Japanese slang for methamphetamine and was later used in the Philippines and other places to mean the same illegal stimulant. One helpful way to remember it is that people sometimes link it to shabu-shabu ('hotpot') as a picture, but the main point is that shabu started as the short Japanese name for the drug, so it now means that powerful illegal drug.
