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.

10. I'm leaning towards

racial epithet meaning a black guy in a British bathroom.

2. Here you go

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.

4. There was one in my garden last night. Peekaboo.

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:

7. Maybe, it's lube for a male prostitute?

:)

[ret5hd]

9. OR (don't go there!!! ...yeah, i'm gettin' ready to go there)

lube for a Black male prostitute!

[Canuckistanian]

8. Yup, us furriners shore are strange

I don't know why we don't go back where we come from.

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.

13. Well that's the stupidest thing I've ever heard... guess I am a bit

younger, I have never heard of jigaboo before and if I heard it now wouldn't know it was racist.

[Fridays Child]

14. Do you mean epithet?

[uppityperson]

12. a made up word, link to their ads...

connotations of "jigaboo" (racist) and "jiggle loose" (shortened). Edited to add link to their ads (I think the ads are rather funny)
