[Ghstwn]

It's so hilarious that so many people are actually seriously involved in responding to this.

GO OUTSIDE! STEP AWAY FROM YOUTUBE FOR ONE HOUR IF YOU CAN. BUY SOME CLOTHES AND MEET PEOPLE THAT ARE UNPLUGGED! LOL!

[malekith87]

che brutto

[sacatetuco]

I love BTTF, to the point that I am kind of an expert about it. And I found this video to be really awful.

[Delosian]

He means gigawatts, Americans used to pronounce it with a J ("g for giant") until American English was standardised in the late 80's. That said, 1.21 gigawatts is more power than most nuclear powerplants put out.

YOU SPELT GIGAWATTS WRONG, BUTTHEAD!!!!

[fraseryt]

this video is penis.

[Garother]

JIGGA WATTS xD

[TheSublimePhoenix]

@Mathematics215: actually the correct pronunciation of GIGA is "JIGA", lightning is assumed to contain billions of watts of electricity hence the value of 1.21 gigawatts. But I agree, this video is pointless to watch....

[oodnac]

@TheSublimePhoenix No it's not. In English speaking countries "Giga" is pronouned with a G, not a J.

[jimmah247]

[AkaradudeGaming]

@Mai7853 He clearly says 1.21 Gigawatts, how is that over 9000 Gigawatts?

[/Buzzkill]

[StroopwafelProducts]

Jigowatts is an incorrect pronounciation of Gigawatt

[Jetli2008]

@StroopwafelProducts

[abg420]

[TerranObserver]

Great Scott you guys it was just "Giga" he just sounded like a triple f! (Fast Funny Fella)

[FSUGuy2012]

Not that I am a fan of a language argument that is all this is. Also, I do not believe in using (wikipedias), but this answers the lame argument very well.

h*ttp://bttf.wikia.com/wiki/Ji­gow*att (remove *)

But when you hear Doc say it, he it clearly saying jigowatts. The truth of the matter it this is a freaking movie. Relax!

[Matanuilover]

no, "jigawatts" is actually an alternative, if rarely used, pronunciation of "gigawatt."

[thekid20x6]

I heard they knew it was gigawatts by the time they started filming the second film, but to keep the film consistent they just had Chris keep saying jigawatts..

[joachoye]

[NOLIMIT69NOLIMIT2000]

Well that sucked ass.

[blueboy093]

[iBook3503332]

i just died indide

[enigma99a]

It's gigawatts, but as noted here: "Though obscure, the /j/ sound at the beginning of the SI prefix giga- is in fact an acceptable pronunciation for the gigabyte."

[hlr2012]

it's "gigawatt"./

go look in the subtitles of the movie.

he doesn't say "jigowatt"

[reck101101]

thats funny, the script was written in jigowatts.

[TheRapidFire94]

actually its a Gigawatt

The gigawatt (symbol: GW) is equal to one billion (109) watts. This unit is sometimes used with large power plants or power grids.

[DeathGodDX]

No, Jigowatts is a actual measurement.

1 Jigowatt is a billion watts.

1 Gigawatt is a million watts.

[Mathematics215]

Absolutly incorrect, sorry. Kilo = 1000 One thousand Mega = 10^6 or one million Giga = 10^9 or one billion Tera = 10^12 or one trillion Peta = 10^15 one quadrillion Exa = 10^18 one quintillion Zetta = 10^21 one sextillion Yotta = 10^24 one septillion The term jigo is NOT a prefix, and is simply made up ONLY for this movie. Also this really was pointless to watch...

[sooperpuper]

He has "Mathematics" in his username, you'd better believe him.

[thewizard99]

@Mathematics215 it wasnt made up for this movie, In the film's script the word "gigawatt" is spelled "jigowatt". Bob Gale and Robert Zemeckis had been to a science seminar and the speaker had pronounced it "jigowatt" they then decided to use it as that spelling.

[theredmenace07]

@Mathematics215 thanks professor

[LeonRFpoa]

@Mathematics215 He misspoke "Gigawatts" and the director liked it because it sounded unreal. Get fucked.

[EliteRocketBear]

@Mathematics215 He could be just be pronouncing Gigawatts in a weird way.

[ranchpant]

@Mathematics215 actually, they're saying Gigawatts, they're just pronouncing it a different way.

[WaliceInThunderland]

@Mathematics215 have you ever thought of taking a bath with a toaster that is connected to the electricity jack?

[MrMedic8]

@Mathematics215 REMEMBER ME EDDIE? WHEN I KILLED YOUR BROTHER... I TALKED JUST... LIKE.... THHHHHIIIIIIIISSSSS!?!?!? *Starts making toons heads explode with math*

[cuacua420]

@Mathematics215 shut up nerd

[rich1051414]

@Mathematics215 he mispronouced gigawatts, if you look at the script, it says gigawatts.

[MasterStudios2]

@Mathematics215 actually, He said "Jiga" which is an accepted pronunciation of Giga

[robman47]

i think jiga watt is just an alternate pronunciation of giga. u can use either.

[DrEmmittBrown]

Well either way, next Saturday night we are sending you back to the future

[PivotStarWars96]

didn't that guy ever have hair? erased... ...from existance. ROFL

[NavXD]

Epic fail compared to the redux version

[DarkMatter43]

gay much?

[Kekzor1337]

THESUXS?!?!?!?!?

[maxcool8]

It's gigawatts

[Princegto]

1.21 Giga Watts is great watts

[evilcrusher]

you all are fags

[biggreenblob]

pretty much garbage.

[Fussino]

For me it will always be Gigawatts with a hard G. Fuck for pronunciation XDDD

[Haeinscute]

Gigawatts is the real word, "jigowatts" is the error in the script that they decided to keep as how they would spell/pronounce it in the movie.

[Bishop1569]

where did you get the 1:28 image?

[SHAMSHAM1090]

all these images look like he's in a horor movie

[ZeBoXeS]

Giga*

[asaguda]

Actually, it was mispelt by the producers and became the standard spelling for the movie.

[bitrex]

"Jigawatt" is indeed the correct pronunciation. The first G is a hard "G."
