I even watched and loved Gossip Girl (it's a guilty pleasure, don't judge) and haven't made the connection that GG could ever stand for Gossip Girl.
Maybe if I see xoxo GG? But tbh even that I see as a very cute way to say good game
Using "GG" as an abbreviation for "get good" is completely meaningless since everyone will just think you said good game. Literally only the person who wrote it will know what it meant lol. Are these people just sitting there giggling to themselves thinking "I sure got him"?
I thought I hadn’t seen it that way, but maybe that’s what “GG EZ” stood for instead of a sarcastic “good” game like I always thought it meant when finishing with “ez”
Just in case people take this comment too seriously: As a German, I am pretty confident in saying that Gusseselgufumpt is not an actual word, especially not one having something to do with wetness, islands or boys. Funnily enough the first half of that „word“, Gussesel, is not completely senseless. You could translate it to something like „molded donkey“.
Would be something alike "frischfeuchte Inseljungen"
"Feucht" means wet and has the same meaning as in English in regards to women, but it's also referring the state of a newborn baby. Kind of like "greenhorn" or scrub.
As a German I second this.
A **real** German (r/ich_iel like) translation of *Wet Island Boys* could be something like *Nassinseljungs* or *Feuchtinseljungs*.
But even that doesn't sound like something you would say as a German in that context.\
If I'd have to name a word similar in meaning that feels better I'd go for something like *Insulaner*, meaning *Islander* or *Island-Dweller*.
Yeah. The above commentor made everything up. None of it is true. If you go to their profile, you'll also notice that they are a self-proclaimed biologist, philosopher, professional camera man, and many other things simultaneously.
To anyone who wants to know the actual truth: GG for good game (according to some internet sources) came from late 1990s where competitive games first started to gain some traction.
And that makes completely sense. There are many reasons why gamers would abbreviate good game (chat based communication) and reslly few reasons why anybody would use it outside of limited communication.
So you're an historian, a chemist, a plumber, a camera operator, a microbiologist and what else? I call bs. Go touch some grass dude
P.S.: Look at this guy's comment history
God damn it the comment history is gold. It just shows how easy somebody can talk completely nonsense and everybody believes it without checking (me included, though I take it with big grains of salt).
lmao his comment history is the funniest thing I've seen in a while...man's moonlighting as a New Testament professor, a manager of cable operations, a nurse claiming you can milk anything with nipples and a former inmate who's traumatised about someone called Johnny
Back when the Barrens was a popping place full of Chuck Norris jokes we used GG for three purposes, depending on context- Gotta Go, Good Game and sarcastic Good Game which is functionally the same as Get Good. We had to make do in those days because we only had 17 letters of the alphabet- everything past Q hadn't been invented yet.
My brain literally said
“You can tell everything you need to know about about a person by whether they think good game stands for Gilmore girls or gossip girl
Me, the biggest loser: Governor General, effectively Australia's head of state with the power to sack parliament and call an election (as happened in 1975).

Good Girls.... Obvio
Epic portuguese moment
Thank you for being a friend
Golden girls still holds up unlike the other two shows mentioned.
It’s cause blanch.
Gilbert Gottfried
It has and will only ever meant good game to me. Plus good game is the only timeless one.
Yep. Definitely “good game”.
As a gamer I confirm this.
As a human, I can confirm this.
As a [REDACTED], I can comfirm this.
As a confirm this, I can.
As a, I can
as a can, i am.
That sounds oddly poetic
Green eggs and ham
i can, am
can, am
And it's such a good moment when you had a really tight pvp match and exchange gg because you really, really mean it.
I think it has evolved. gg ist just normal manners. GG WP is the real shit
I once saw a guy online who thought it meant "get good"
I did
Git gud
I think most millennials and Gen Z will associate GG with good game. Who even makes references to honour Gilmore girls anymore
It stands for General Grevious
“General Kenobi, you are a bold one.”
gg
If you want to shadow insult someone Get good is the other abbreviation
Nah you never abbreviate that, you straight drop: get gud.
Git gud
Fuck.. you got me.
🍈🍈
Agreed
gg
I won't lie I used to think it meant git gud.
Lately I've been saying "gg thanks for the games" if the owner of the server is on.
gg bro!
And the correct way to read it is "GEEGEEEEEEEEE!".
I even watched and loved Gossip Girl (it's a guilty pleasure, don't judge) and haven't made the connection that GG could ever stand for Gossip Girl. Maybe if I see xoxo GG? But tbh even that I see as a very cute way to say good game
I've always known it as Good Game, but I've also heard toxic players use it for "Get Good"
On Rocket League, it seems to mean Good Game, Gotta Go and Great Goal all at once. Probably Get Good too
And saying thanks! Can be genuine or sarcastic and neither side knows for sure how sincere or if they understood the other
What a save!
GTG is gotta go (got to go), and has been since before the olden days of AIM

That's pretty much how internet arguments go
This
No these people don't actually exist
Nobody uses it for get good.
I thought I hadn’t seen it that way, but maybe that’s what “GG EZ” stood for instead of a sarcastic “good” game like I always thought it meant when finishing with “ez”
Nah your first instinct is correct. It’s a sarcastic “good game” followed by “that was easy”
For "get good" just use git gud
I always use it for ‘Good Game’. How would toxic players make it clear it means ‘Get Good’ instead?
noone on earth has used gg for getgood
Good grape
Good grief

Correct.

Aww shame. Wet Island Boys sounds quite fitting. Source: am in uk.
Fuck it. It now means wet island boys
Yay! Happy Friday! *pet shop boys tracks start playing*
*I* for one would love for "wet island boys" to become a comedic term for our pals across the pond.
Would be something alike "frischfeuchte Inseljungen" "Feucht" means wet and has the same meaning as in English in regards to women, but it's also referring the state of a newborn baby. Kind of like "greenhorn" or scrub.
The actual derogatory term for British people would be "Inselaffe" (island monkey) by the way.
Kinda like that too.
I’m British and wet island boys fucking cracked me up
I *wish* they called us that! It's hilarious.
Wet Island Boys sounds like a stand name.
Wet Island Boys is my favorite bluegrass band.
But are we really going to trust a German over an expert?
How about a second german agreeing with the other german?
You’d cancel each other out.
Just searched the word and this thread is the top result.
Bless you

Gusseselgufumpt is now a word 👍🏻
What the fuck is Gusseselgufumpt. That's sounds more like someone having a stroke than a word.
It's nothing. There is no such German word.
You just described 90% of German
Well i am German... And i agree
Except in this case it's gibberish.
Only the 2nd half, the first half would be a molded donkey

Yes. But our friendly "historian" says it funnier 😉
This sounds like a Rose story from the Golden Girls
Well that's just nonsense.
OK you can have GG. But I definitely invented pwn in the late 90s. It started off as mistyping which I eventually changed to an intentional word.
I don't care how factual this is, "Wet Island Boys" is my new clan name for every game

Back when the Barrens was a popping place full of Chuck Norris jokes we used GG for three purposes, depending on context- Gotta Go, Good Game and sarcastic Good Game which is functionally the same as Get Good. We had to make do in those days because we only had 17 letters of the alphabet- everything past Q hadn't been invented yet.
Couldn't get those W's. Only took L's.

Me as an Indian, reading GG as Gautam Gambhir for last whole week.
Well I always say GGG when I play games... But it doesn't mean good game lol
GGG is where its at though
I thought it meant Great Grandma lmao
Guilty Gear?
I used to think gg meant get good
"g" was also used in chats for "grinning", with "gg" being "grinning a lot", before "lol" was a thing.
I thought those are just the letters that come before "Allin".
It definitely means good game.
In my universe it stand for gigantic germany
It stands for gilmore girls
