Being from the USA and not seeing Top Gear (except for the occasional presenter car crash), I googled the site and this is what I got. Please correct me please! Is this the Top Gear Stig or the one known by the public? Stig 1. Someone who is like a tramp 2. Always after someones things eg sweets/money etc 3. Badly dressed and looks dirty "You are such a stig" "Stop stigging my stuff 4. A smelly person. Normally lives somewhere that resembles a dump or landfill site. You dirty stig, get away from me. 5. A type of dance music that flourished in the early 90s, by acts like Haddaway and the Urban Cookie Collective. Also pertains to people who listen to said music. Did you stay in that club long? Yeah, man, and they started playing some truly retro stig right towards the end. 7. Someone who is on the verge of being an asshole, but otherwise is normally ok. Hey, that's my beer. Easy stig, get your filthy hands off of it 8. A filthy dirty grubby person. Like Wayne and Waynetta from Harry Enfield's the slobs 9. Undesirable tracksuit wearing criminal. See also POG, TEGGER. "I'm sick of these f**king stigs wanting money to get back to Leeds." I think that these are NOT our Stig, but being an ignorant American, I must ask for clarification, as well as indemnification. Sorry, it is only humor! Sorry! But there were apparently stigs before "The Stig". |

The name STIG is a reference to Jeremey Clarkson's School New boys were always called Stig, itself a reference to a Children's novel - "Stig of the dump". Or it's an acronym Super Technical Investigative Guru. However in Top Gear Form, a Stig is a unknown test driver. and in Internet Forums form, it's me! |
