Shebang is a word meaning "any matter of present concern; thing; business" (1869). It is most frequently used in the phrase "the whole shebang", which first appeared in written records in 1862. "The whole chebang" was used to mean "a building and everything in it". Later, Mark Twain used it to describe a vehicle, as well as "any matter of present concern". It is suspected to originate from the French word ''char-a-banc'', which is a bus-like wagon with a lot of seats, but no specific connection has been proven as of now.
