[edit] Question on the origin of the term "Gitmo"
did it come from contrast of Gulag (the five letter bisyllablic "G" word with no other similarities) or does it come from "Gizmo"? K61824ZOYG I edit like Kenservative! 01:32, 17 June 2009 (UTC)
- No, it's just military slang, first letter, next important consonant, ending. They do it all the time (
hummerhumvee, huey chopper, thousands of other examples). ħuman

- Why the "i" in there though? Why not Guatmo or just Guamo? 141.134.75.236 (talk) 03:55, 5 February 2015 (UTC)
