Talk:Yig

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Categorization

I'm a bit new to this, but how do I categorize an article? This article really needs to be placed under the "Cthulhu Mythos deities" category. Zigra (talk) 01:57, 18 December 2007 (UTC)Zigra

Being from CT, I am pretty sure screaming Yig is entirely derived from the Gwar song.

[edit] Uncited information

The "Yig" character was the subject of cultish behavior in early 1990's Connecticut, when teenagers began screaming "YIG" from car windows in a ritualistic manner. This activity became known as "Yigging" and at a certain point became so popular that it is said that the originator of the "Yigging" activity was himself "Yigged" while walking on a New Britain bridge. The goal was described as screaming the word "Yig" as loud as possible and consequently scaring/intimidating the subject, usually a golfer or churchgoer. "Yigging," once the scourge of unsuspecting central Connecticut motorists and tourists, has since faded into obscurity. Reports of "Yiggings" now number 2-5 per year. The GWAR song referring to Yig has faded into obscurity.
