1. Lube.
DU hasn't decide yet if the lube is named for a racist epithet or a male prostitute. Stay tuned, have some popcorn.

3. A WD-40 like lubricant
with less mess. Sounds to be pretty good stuff.

Some here get real concerned because its sorta near a racial epithet and might be considered insensitive. Hard to take those types seriously.

5. I'll repeat my post explaining the name:
It's a French-Canadian expression. The product is from Montréal.

The name "Jig-A-Loo" can be traced all the way back to 1958, when the product inventor finally came up with the right formula and exclaimed, "Ti-gi-dou!"

A common Canadian expression used when someone finds a solution to a problem, "Ti-gi-dou" loosely translates to "I've got it!" and is still used as salutation at the end of phone conversations.

edit: My wife hears the expression all the time, pronounced more like Ziggie-do! It's almost like "Yippee!"

6. Well, you helped exactly ZERO! ...
So it's either an expression from a goddamned "furren country"

or it's a word for a male prostitute

or it's a racial epithet.

:rofl:

11. Jigaloo sounds like jigaboo
Jigaloo is some type of lubricant.
Jigaboo is a racist epitaph.
I have no idea what it means other than it is used interchangeably with the n word.

12. a made up word, link to their ads...
Edited on Sun Jun-17-07 04:39 PM by uppityperson
connotations of "jigaboo" (racist) and "jiggle loose" (shortened). Edited to add link to their ads (I think the ads are rather funny)
