[SOAPM] titers to evaluate vaccines

[Dave Hause]

My vote is that it is an allusion to repeatedly stabbing, as with a frog gig
(hard g) - typically a three-pronged, barbed, spear.

Is this a new use for the word "gig?" Also is it pronounced guig or jig?

I think you are correct- AND it is much less painful to get another
ound of vaccines than gig around in a small child's arm to get enough
lood to run titers....
