Yes, it really exists. In at least one dictionary.

I’m not being pushy or nebby
I didn’t whisper with Israel’s Chief Rebbe
But if I were Iran
I’d kill my nuclear plan
An admonition: remember Entebbe

I don’t see how this word “nebby”, can really be out there.

It’s never been the name of a ventriloquist’s dummy.

I’ve just returned home from an appointment at my doctor’s and the nebby nurse practioner was really annoying.

My paternal grandmother lived and worked in Philly for a few years in the 1930’s-and imported her third (and last) husband from there to ranch with her family in south Texas. As a small child, I remember both of them using some of words I see in that tutorial-Ah swear ah thought it was a foreign language at the time, y’all...

The EPA and other nebby groups
Want to order all that you do
Because they have to be sure
Contracts go to those who renew

The fear of the unwashed masses
That the climate will get too warm-
Making glaciers melt and oceans rise
And cause such dreadful harm

Never mind if you look at history
There’s a different story told-
Humans didn’t advance or prosper
When the earth was icy and cold
