Gignate

/ˈɡɪɡneɪt/ verb

Definition

To produce or give birth to a gig; to beget or generate gigs (used humorously or metaphorically).

Etymology

From gig + -nate (from Latin cognatus, born together, or -nate as a verb-forming suffix). Created as humorous wordplay treating gigs as reproducible entities.

Kelly Says

This verb is pure Victorian wordplay—imagining gigs as organisms that can procreate is delightfully absurd and shows how creative the English language can be with suffixes.
