A nibble is half of a Byte, or 4 bits. Some of the older microprocessors (8 bit oldies) use registers which control stuff like port designations as inputs or outputs. They sometimes use the high nibble or low nibble of a register for this purpose.

So instead of adding his 2 bits, he will be adding 4 bits
