Hi [STRIKE]every one[/STRIKE] everyone.
[STRIKE]Please[/STRIKE] In this sentence, S.A.I.C. (what does this mean?) says "You gave up the consulting gig" (part of a [STRIKE]tv[/STRIKE] TV show.) I didn't understand the meaning of "consulting gig" (I didn't find the words "consulting gig" in a dictionary.)
Thank you.
You will have trouble with English if you assume that every time you see two words together, they must be a recognised phrase.
A "gig" is another word for work or a short period of work.
Tonight, I have a waitressing gig at a great hotel in town = Tonight, I will work as a waitress at a great hotel in town. (This is clearly a casual, temporary job.)
The person in question used to be a consultant, or worked in consulting. He/She gave up that work.
Note my corrections to your post in red. It is important to follow the rules of written English:
- Start every sentence with a capital letter.
- End every sentence with a single, appropriate punctuation mark.
- Always capitalise the word "I".
- Do not put a space before a comma, full stop, question mark or exclamation mark.
- Always put a space after a comma, full stop, question mark or exclamation mark.
