BadaBing Posted October 28, 2005 Report Share Posted October 28, 2005 Ok , yahoo chat awhile back remember this term used as for a relationship. More recent again , used as " i like him , him like me , no serious " as quoted by her , uni student. I did try to equate as same-same as booty call , didnt hit home to her. Is this the new term for " fuck me and dont be here when i wake up " ? Old fart just trying to keep current..... Bada Bing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flashermac Posted October 28, 2005 Report Share Posted October 28, 2005 The bar girls tend to use it to mean somebody the guy are shagging, but just for the hell of it -- nothing serious. (Probably some Thai guy.) I suspect a uni girl might use it differently! I've asked uni girls several times about the doufas boyfriend they were going with and got the reply back that he was just someone to hang around with. It was platonic and she had no intention of marrying the guy. But if she didn't have a boyfriend, the other girls might think she couldn't get one! Never heard one call him a "gig" though. p.s. Maybe they mean he's a geek! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-.-.- Posted October 28, 2005 Report Share Posted October 28, 2005 Gig used to refer to an engagement by a musician to play somewhere. Then it meant something to do with work- generally short term. Sex is a great description for the word gig- does not last more than a few nights and somebody gets paid at the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.. Posted October 28, 2005 Report Share Posted October 28, 2005 LOL, not English, Himmi, pasat Thai! Bada's pretty much got it right. A gig is a "fuck buddy". Money does not change hands usually. An "older" definitation is a non-serious relationship, meaning something not expected to lead to marriage. But same-same really.

-.-.- Posted October 28, 2005 Report Share Posted October 28, 2005 suadum- So you think it is not financial? I really don't know. Have you heard it used in BKK? I personally have not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterBlonde Posted October 28, 2005 Report Share Posted October 28, 2005 I think the term is Gik,and as Suadam says it is a Fuck Buddy situation with no money changing hands....works the same for male and female. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.. Posted October 28, 2005 Report Share Posted October 28, 2005 Himmi, absolutely. In fact I just heard it last night from a gal with whom I was playing pool. It was a bar that has some freelancers and some (but not all) staff on the P4P game, so I was not sure her situation. She said "I want you to be my gig!" And I jokingly responded "Gigs are good. Short times cost money!" She shook her head and laughed in approval. Cheers, SD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nervous_Dog Posted October 28, 2005 Report Share Posted October 28, 2005 Term didn;t even exist until about 2 years ago when it became popular due to a famous soap opera. Means exactly as Suadan said, fuck buddy, or a person you fuck but have not romantic attashment, the word is more in the uni crowd than the bargirl crowd, and interestingly, for the first time last week I heard it used in Laos, which I hadn;t on previous trips this year. Funny enough, my wife who loves soaps was embarred that I taught her the expression, apparently she was watching the wrong program and missed its sudden popularity DOG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.. Posted October 28, 2005 Report Share Posted October 28, 2005 BTW, it is pronounced more like "geek", but seems to be Romanized as "gig". Dunno how it is spelled in Thai. Cheers, SD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
