Thread Name: Origin of verb 'to gig?'
Subject: RE: Origin of verb 'to gig?'
I am surprised that no one made reference to what was traditionally offered to british and american soldiers in the middle East. psst tommy/yank you want Jig a Jig with my sister/brother only half a Crown/dollar. I think "never mind the quality feel the width" maybe.

I apologise for the next bit but 1948 Oxford Dictionary defined Prick (old English) sharpening stone for Scythe and sickle. and Cu.. as a small soft leather bag attatched to the belt to keep it in.
What a great thread you do know your all barmy dont you.(big Grin).
