Definition
An excessive or obsessive enthusiasm for gigs or for maintaining the appearance of respectable gigman status.
Etymology
From gig + -mania (from Greek mania, meaning madness or excessive enthusiasm). Formed to satirize the social climbing and status obsession of the aspiring middle class.
Kelly Says
Victorian satirists loved coining '-mania' words to mock their contemporaries; gigmania perfectly captures how ridiculous the status-anxiety of owning a two-wheeled carriage must have seemed to critics.
