somebody --> sb

Editor:
Re 混出名堂 -- I wrote "somebody" in full deliberately.
Generally, "sb" can be a reference to a particular person.
e.g. 他把我视同手足。Here, "sb" is 我. ("to regard sb as a brother")
That's not the case in the definition of 混出名堂 ("to be somebody").
The word "somebody" there is idiomatic.
