Get the G.A.S mug.

G.A.S.

An acronym for "Gear Acquistion Syndrome" which is the painful (and usually expensive) need to buy more guitar gear.

First heard and proliferated by the sad and loney at the www.harmonycentral.com Guitar Effects forum.

Dude! I saw the newest and most expensive boutique pedal ever created, and it gave me some serious GAS.

G.A.S.

Meaning 'give a shit' in a situation when one doesn't care.

Denise: you are going to break that vase your auntie bought you if you keep throwing that rubber band ball about.
J.P: G.A.S., it cost like 50 cents.

Lafondra: boy, you better get ya'll ass back here now or you ain't gettin' no pussy time.
