Thread Name: Origins: Ger the Rigger
Subject: Origins: Ger the Rigger
Okay everyone.....can anyone explain the title? One place sez that the title is actually Jer the Rigger, and Jer would be the diminutive for Jeramiah........and a rigger is a carpenter. Any other definitions out there for me? And how do you pronounce it? Locally, it is said more like "GAR" the rigger, with a hard G. Thanks all!
