What is GOUT?

Author
Time
I've been reading about the German Original Trilogy but I am still unclear about it. Is it the official German dvd or something? Is the audio in German and is the title crawl in German?

Well, in answer to your first question, GOUT stands for George's Original Unaltered Trilogy, and it is used to refer to the 2006 release bonus disc.

Not that that is going to stop you from dreaming… Only in this case, Gaffer is actually a guy.

Who comes up with these acronyms?

Is there an acronym czar on this board?

This piece of smartass-ery is not aimed at anyone.

Beats me. I always just say OOT.

I think GOUT came from the preservation board. Other acceptable but non-official acronyms include

LOUT -- Lucas's Original Unaltered Trilogy
FLOUT -- F***in' Lucas's Original Unaltered Trilogy
POUT -- Poor Original Unaltered Trilogy
BOUT -- Basic Original Unaltered Trilogy
O^2UT -- Official Original Unaltered Trilogy
ROUT -- Released Original Unaltered Trilogy
TROUT -- The Released Original Unaltered Trilogy
NU OUT -- Not Unaltered Original Unaltered Trilogy
BUG OUT -- Barely Understanding George's Original Unaltered Trilogy
ROCK OUT -- Really Obsolete CAV Kind Of Unaltered Trilogy
COCK OUT -- Ceaselessly Obliterated Classic Killed Original Unaltered Trilogy
KNOCK OUT -- Kind News, Old Classic Kitsch Out for Undiscriminators, a Treasure

Anyone else got any ideas? I'm all out.

GOUT? It's something older people get that herts a lot.

And all these acronyms are crazy. OOT or OUT are the only ones that should be used. They make sense to everyone.

It came out of the X0 thread. OUT was becoming synonymous with OOT, so a bunch of suggestions were made, and GOUT was collectively adopted.

I think it's silly as well - OUT or OOT are just fine.

But OUT and OOT are not synonymous. OOT is the Original Original Trilogy, the sort of platonic ideal of the Star Wars Trilogy. It's been used for a long time to describe the original Star Wars Trilogy. OUT is Original Unaltered Trilogy, a new marketing term used to describe the 2006 DVD release of the Star Wars Trilogy. Since it's not the original unaltered trilogy, using that acronym represents a sort of intellectual buy-in to a lie. Prefixing it with the G acknowledges this and places the blame for the dissonance where it rightly lies.

Until now, I didn't know that the two were not synonymous. I always just thought it was a new term coined during the summer, maybe because people thought OUT looked and sounded better than OOT.

The more you know!

Maybe OOT is just the Canadian version of OUT. Eh?

There's good in the Original Trilogy, and it's worth fighting for.

That is a brilliant list. My favorites are POUT, ROUT, and TROUT.

Wait a minute - you can't goof on acronym czars when you just invented the word smartassery.

Although, with your permission, I might work that into my vocabulary. Has a nice ring to it.

Everytime I read the word GOUT, I hear a bit from the Jerky Boys CDs (crank callers for those who don't know them).

One of the guys says to an unsuspecting caller: "I'm not doing too well. I've got a little GOUT in the left tit."

Yeah, my dad gets it a lot, and I laugh whenever I hear people referring to the new releases as GOUT. I first thought it wasn't an acronym, but a way to poke fun at the releases by comparing them to inflamation of the joints.

So the GOUT is actually the 2006 dvd release. Intresting. Nice at least to see it again at least.
