Is “gig” abbreviation for something? What does “gig” mean?

“Gig” means a live performance or job. A person who has a gig is usually a singer or in a band and has a live performance somewhere. It is not an abbreviation for anything. It can be also used to refer to a general job/career.

Ex: The singer has a gig at the coffee shop next Tuesday.
