The auction:
GIB Me
4♠ Pass Pass 5♦
Pass 6♦ Pass Pass
Pass

GIB's hand:
♠2 ♥KQJ97 ♦65 ♣AT643

I mean, who bids with that hand after partner balances.

Down 1, naturally.

I don't think GIB understands balancing. What was the description of 5♦? I'll bet it said something like 20+ HCP, twice-rebiddable ♦. If that's what you have, its control-rich hand should provide a decent play for slam.

Barmar is correct.

You can see what the bid probably means, if you click the 5, then mouse over the D.

GIB thinks you have 20+ points, strong rebiddable Diamonds.
