I'm curious as to the meaning of the word 'gig', very often used in this forum. (I take it to mean 'job' by the ads mentioned) However, and to improve my English (an every day task thanks to you guys (:-)) I searched this site: www.acronymfinder.com One of the meanings I found was this: Gwasanaeth Iechyd Gwladol (Welsh: National Health Service) And in this one: http://www.answers.com/gig?gwp=11&ver=2.0.0.442 gig1 1.. A light, two-wheeled carriage drawn by one horse. 2.. Nautical. 1.. A long light ship's boat, usually reserved for use by the ship's captain. 2.. A fast light rowboat. 3.. 1.. An object that whirls. 2.. Games. A three-digit selection in a numbers game. intr.v., gigged, gig.ging, gigs. To ride in a gig. [Perhaps from obsolete gig, spinning top, from Middle English gyg-, possibly of Scandinavian origin.] gig2 1.. An arrangement of barbless hooks that is dragged through a school of fish to hook them in their bodies. 2.. A pronged spear for fishing or catching frogs. v., gigged, gig.ging, gigs. v.tr. To fish for or catch with a gig. v.intr. To catch a fish or frog with a gig. [Short for FISHGIG.] gig3 Slang. A demerit given in the military. tr.v., gigged, gig.ging, gigs. To give a military demerit to. And there are lots more. However, none of them refers to a job. Still curious.
