Totally random question regarding the proper use of the word "gig" here: Is it ok for non-musicians to use the word gig or is that a musician pet peeve? I meant to say that I was going with one of my friends to your concert but accidentally said gig... then before I could retract, my sister and brother-in-law just started teasing the hell out of me. "Saying things like, "What are you, a roadie?" And "Are you with the band?" I can't say I blame them, it did sound absolutely ridiculous when I said it. It just came out without my knowing it! Of course, no one knows I'm a boardie... Can't imagine the teasing if they found out that one... Oups, I don't understand very well what's wrong with the use of "gig" Missy, is it a word only used by groupies and/or roadies? What's the difference between "gig"and "tour", for example? I usually use those words as synonyms  Btw, I have a badge on my handbag who says "I'm with the band" ROFL, must I remove it if I go to UK/US someday???  ;D |

I am confused by that as well. I've read somewhere that "concert" is used when referring to classical music and "gig" for everything else.

Uhm, we need some help from native speakers I think... Tour-gig-concert-show.... I'm getting more confused, now I don't know what I know, LOL!!! (PS@Gray: I'll answer you tonight if I can. My Internet must has come back from lil' holidays now ) |

LOL, Lucita and Gray! It is my understanding that the word "gig" either means job or is a musician's term for a live performance. Thus, you could say "John has a gig at Rockwood" but if you are just an attendee, not a musician or roadie and you said, "I'm going to the John Garrison gig in NY" (like I did)... Evidently, you just sound silly... Though I could be wrong...
PS. Lucy, your bag sounds soo cute! I would love to have a bag that said, "I'm with the band!" Hahaha!

Thanks missy!! If your answer is correct, I'll never be able to use the term 'gig'. I can't wait for John's answer. No problem Lucy, I'll wait. I am sorry it was such a long message, but I could have written more  |
