What does that stand for? And if it stands for "Gift in Crib", what does that mean? :)

Ah, of course! Also, I didn't see the icon until later, it is very good.

And if it stands for "Gift in Crib", it means that you have become heavily accultured to Christian imagery. Or you wish it could be Christmas every day.

Ah, thank you! Apparently that's a common txt abbreviation[1], but I was puzzled (I think I didn't realise it was that crib).

[1] As is my wont, I googled "gic imho acronym" and found a list of common txt abbreviations including that.

Is it that crib? Is it not that crib? I have no idea as I've never heard the phrase before. I am heavily accultured to Christian imagery so it's the only crib I could think of :-)

Ah, I assumed you were right. It sounded right to me. My initial assumption was that it meant "baby", and then that it couldn't because I couldn't see why you would have said that; but since you didn't say that, it could.
