What is the G for in G-Man?

[Wildboyz]

well

Government. The name 'G-man' isnt a un unique one. Basically if you work for the government you are nick named 'A G-man'

 

[short recoil]

Most likely "government man" or "grey man".

 

[Wildboyz]

Government Man?
Makes me wonder though...

 

[bgesley426]

I take it none of you know of the old 1950 movies about G-men.

 

[DarkStar]

"Gordon."

At least that's my theory.

Play the game, and find out...oh...wait...it's not out yet, is it? Giess you'll have to wait a couple more weeks. @ 20 hrs, should be finished the first day....and you'll know.

His stern manner, dress sense and shadowy nature. Watch some old films.

 

[UltimaGecko]

...gigolo.

 

[AJ Rimmer]

Government or Geraldo. I'm betting VALVe spent a good two minutes thinking of what to name the model and that's what they came up with.

 

[AlaskanStewie]

Government, even Gabe responded to an email about G-Man, and refered to him once as Government man. Yeah.

 

[Slime]

"Gordon."

At least that's my theory.

This is very unique... But I still don't get it...

 

[MadHatter]

The term "G-Man" is short for "Government Man". Federal agents (FBI), and other branch agents, were nicknamed "G-Men" or "G-Man" by Machinegun Kelly during the times of mobsters and gangsters (20s and 30s).

Why is the G-Man called "G-Man"? *shrugs* Because he's a government man? I don't know. lol

 

[Absinthe]

This is very unique...

No it isn't.

Any way, "G-Man" means "Government Man". Go ahead and look it up. I wouldn't look too deeply into the title though.

And, again, I must ponder why the endless G-Man topics never get any flak.

[Tropico]

[MiccyNarc]

Gay-Man.
Which explains his "interest" in Gordon and Shepard.

 

[Kalath]

No, G-man stands for..

..Gabe-man!

 

[pixartist]

goat-man

 

[Powerload]

[Tropico]

It might be Gay-Man after all.
If you buy the G-man collector edition pack you get this poster.
