WYGIWYGAINGW

"What you get is what your given and its no good whining."

An alternate version of WYSIWYG as popularised by Terry Pratchett.

Later on, the wizards wondered if the new universe might have been different if the Dean had waggled his fingers in a different way. Perhaps, within it, matter might have naturally formed itself into, say, garden furniture, or one giant nine-dimensional flower a trillion miles across. But Archchancellor Ridcully pointed out that this was not very useful thinking, because of the ancient principle of WYGIWYGAINGW.

-- Terry Pratchett (The Science of Discworld)

WYSIWYE

Much like the term WYSIWYG, WYSIWYE describes a type of integrated editing GUI. The term stands for "What You See is Where You Edit," in reference to an integrated editing interface. Such as an admin panel in a website fully integrated into the homepage.

Jim: "Man, this CMS is lame, I have to click the admin panel, then login, then have no clue what I'm editing because I can't see it update due to the fact I'm in another page."
Tom: "You need to code a WYSIWYE interface"

wysiayg

What You See Is All You Get

Derived from 'wysiwyg' - 'What You See Is What You Get'.

Used for internet sales, it states only what you see is what will be delivered, thereby killing assumptions on cases for CD's, batteries for toys, or all 32 chessmen if only the white pieces are displayed.

Alternatively, it is often used in bars or on a street corner when considering the potential worth of a person, (material or spiritual).

'Hey, check the bling on that dawg. They must have it made!'
'Nah - wysiayg' <Nope, all their worth, material and spiritual, is present in their visage.>

hackers use this as short form for the commonly used phrase:

what you see is a young goat

for example, i might be hacking away, and another hacker might come by and say what you see is a young goat

then we both laugh and count our money
