 Along the east coast of the continent of Ur is a region known as the Gigi Coast, where can be found a subrace of Khattas known as "Gigis". These golden-furred felines, quite unlike most of their brethren, actually LOVE the water, and are reasonably adept at fishing, diving and -- especially -- surfing. While they have no racial aptitudes in any of these areas (in the same way as, say, otters might), a "native-born" Gigi is bound to be proficient in one or more of these activities. One other distinguishing feature about the Gigis is that they are prone to what might be called "jabberwockyisms". Though their native language is ostensibly Rephidim Standard, they freely invent new "slang" terms on the spot, the meaning of which is generally determined based upon the tone in which the word is said, and in the context of the situation. While such words are typically used once and may never be used (except by accident) again, it is considered to be a sign of some pride if a word invented by a Gigi is picked up by others. Hence, this peculiarity of Gigi communication plays a role in establishing and reinforcing the Gigi social order. To outsiders, however, it is merely confusing and often annoying, hence the usage of the term "Gigi" to be synonymous with "nonsense" or "gibberish" in several other cultures in the region.
