Today I learned that, at least according to Wikipedia, it was Walter Becker who coined the term "G.A.S.", which as we all know stands for "Gear Acquisition Syndrome", although he originally said it as "Guitar." Supposedly. Until today, I do not recall being aware of its origins.

Well, I should have been more specific, in that according to the article, he coined the term "Guitar Acquisition Syndrome", whereas the acronym has likely been used for various purposes many times before.
