Oh, and for those of you that were there at USH, I also found the first draft of the script, where the time travel device is a refrigerator.

Actually, in the movie he actually does say "jigowatts" rather than "gigawatts." By some strange coincidence a local radio station played that clip this morning as part of a "battle of the genders" contest.

Actually, we looked it up last night after CoasterMatt's post, and apparently the "j" pronunciation of "gigawatts" is an alternate in the dictionary.

GD theorizes that it really was "gigawatts" but Christopher Lloyd pronounced it "jigowatts", and then they went back and rewrote the script to match it.

Actually, to my surprise, most dictionaries I've looked in show "jigawatts" as the first pronunciation.

I can't imagine pronouncing it that way.

"Check it out, I got a new iPod!"
"How many jigs?"
"Oh, it's a 60 jig."

Perhaps if you were in Ireland.

"My Ipod contains 60 jigs" wouldn't seem so far-fetched.
