Random reflections on theology, politics, sports and TEC (The Episcopal Church). So what does Gig-em mean? "At a yell practice before the 1930 TCU game, A&M board of regent Pinky Downs '06 shouted, 'What are we going to do to those Horned Frogs?' His muse did not fail him as he improvised, borrowing a term from frog hunting. "Gig 'em, Aggies!" he said as he made a fist with his thumb extended straight up. And with that the first hand sign in the Southwest Conference came into being.'"

Simul Justus et peccator - at once righteous and a sinner.
We have Luther to thank for this expression!
Since the believer is justified by grace through faith, and not works, and since justification is not a infusion of righteousness that makes a sinner righteous 'in and of himself,' the sinner is both righteous in God's sight because of Christ and a sinner measured according to his own merits.
(Thanks to Richard A Muller - Dictionary of Latin and Greek Theological Terms, p 283.)
