TIL that “G.I.” originally referred to objects made from galvanized iron from WWI on, before it was reinterpretated as "government issue ", and by WWII, applied to American soldiers.
I always thought it was General Infantry but I don’t see that term referenced anywhere in the article. Gee, I…guess I was wrong.

Sir, this is the internet. You’re not allowed to admit you were wrong. You’re supposed to get arguementitive and beligerant.
beligerant
It’s spelt “belligerint”
So according to my understanding, all of those alternate interpretations are just that, (mis)interpretations of the original galvanized iron applied to people. So I’d say your specific interpretation is not more wrong than any of those mentioned.
This was my understanding as well
It’s two letters. It will have been used for countless things with those initials.
No I’m pretty sure your intestines are your “galvanized iron” tract.
Might explain the noise they make.
I do know a guy with government issue ones, though. Since the operation.
You fools.
It’s the general intelligence tract! Don’t you know anything about anatomy?
Someone else has been listening to Dungeon Crawler Carl. :)
Actually don’t know who that is haha
Haha, OK. Funny confidence with a recently released book that mentions this. :)
