"GIR== 
 I'm not putting it here asking about it, I'm just putting some info. The Bloody Gir in BBRP is RIGHT in the middle of the screen when it goes totally white. You can see his whole body. 

 == G for Garbage == 

 I've absolutely no idea what Invader Zim is, but going through the page's history I saw quite a few insertions about G in GIR standing for garbage. If it's not true, then please subst  or  on the users' talk page. Thanks.  , email)  

 :In the episode that introduces the GIR character, Zim asks why GIR's name starts with a G and the Tallest shrugs, so it is pretty specific in the series canon that the characters don't know. Whether the show's staff had an inside joke or not hasn't been attested yet. They don't mention it in the DVD commentary I've seen.   
 ::I've never seen a source that says specifically that it stands for ""Garbage"" either so I suggest any edits which insert this information should immediately be reverted unless it has a reliable source.    
 :::The Tallest shrugs and GIR itself just says ""I don't know."" There's also no mention of a full name on the commentary track. Unless there's some creator interview or leaked script I'm not aware of, the ""G"" stands for nothing in particular, other than the first letter of a kinda-funny name.   
 ::::This is getting pretty rediculous. The reason you've never seen a source that specifically says the G in Gir stands for ""garbage"" is because one doesn't exist. Why? Because Johnen's laughing at you. The fact that he made it so obvious yet there's still debate over it is pretty ludicrous. Yes. It's never been stated officially. Hell, it was never stated officially that the US and Russia were at war. That doesn't change the fact that they were, even if they decided to word things just so to appear to be a country that's amidst a war without actually being ""At war"". The bottom line is this. In the show, Gir was put together last minute to address the issue of not having a robot for Zim. Since all of the other invaders were being given ""SIR"" units, Zim expected one. However, the tallest did not expect to even see Zim nonetheless be sending him on a mission, so while the mission was made up in an endeavor to rid them of the nuisance known to them as Zim, they still had to play it straight lest Zim become suspicious. So they made a new unit out of the body of a Sir unit (that apparently had just enough of it's innards in tact and working that all it needed was a brain) and a handful of... you guessed it... GARBAGE!!! So, you may ask why no one as explicitly stated if it stands for garbage. One doesn't have to be told what SNAFU stands for to know what a SNAFU is, no? So Johnen instead decided to portray it completely comedically offering several punch lines instead of just answering the question. Odd behavior for a guy who is trying to write a COMEDY. So when Zim asks what the G stands for and Gir responds with ""I don't know"", it's just a punch line. You wanna take a little more serious than that then fine. One can assume Gir either properly doesn't know, knew but forgot, or doesn't even care what the question was in the first place (as he often finds himself talking for no paticular reason other than to be heard, holding his own discussions about irrelevant topics even amidst life threatening disasters). As for the response from the All-Mighty Talest... the shrug makes perfect sense, and DOES serve to lay creedence to the notion that G stands for ""Garbage"". After all, if you sent a man on a presumably dangerous mission with nothing to assist him but garbage, would you want to be the one to break the news to him? Zim thought his Gir unit was BETTER than a Sir unit. Gir said I don't know. The shug? That's basically the tallest saying ""If he doesn't know, I'm not going to be the one to tell him"". Not the ""I don't know"" that everyone seems to THINK it is.  • 5:30, 13 February 2007 (UTC) 
 :::::Or it could stand for nothing, the first letter is a coincidence, and you're reading WAY too much into an animated shrug of the shoulders. Without a source, it's not encyclopedic. And it's still a joke if GIR's crazy and made up its own name without not knowing what it means.   

 :::::People refer to RSJs as Reinforced Steel Joists because obviously they are reinforced, the fact is that's an incorrect term (it's Rolled Steel Joist) even though it appears to be correct. My point is that
