Talk:gig
gigabyte[edit]
I remember a time when I yearned for: if we had a spare $1,000.00 it was possible to "get a gig" - meaning a 1 gigabyte hard drive. Technology improved so fast that I don't know if that sense of "gig" ever entered the lexicon. --Stranger 23:01, 30 August 2005 (UTC) According to another on-line dictionary, "gig" can be short for gigabyte. It doesn't specify hard drive, DRAM, or what.— This unsigned comment was added by 206.53.197.12 (talk) at 00:19, 13 October 2007.

Esperanto for billion. Nothing on Tekstaro, and no uses that I can find on Usenet or Google Books. —Mr. Granger (talk • contribs) 20:08, 15 January 2014 (UTC)

Possible missing noun sense[edit]
Chambers 1908 has a noun sense "(US) sport, fun". Perhaps obsolete. It would tie in with the existing verb sense, to joke or poke fun. Equinox ◑ 01:17, 11 November 2019 (UTC)
