Don't know if it leads anywhere but ..... "wyciwyg" as in "What You
C(See) Is What You Get"!!
C = Cache
...
O.K., but my C for (See) makes sense ..... to me, at least!
Fair enough, but the abbreviation with S for See is traditional.
The computer typesetting pioneer John W Seybold is said to have adopted
the phrase from a catchphrase in 'The Flip Wilson Show' (aired 1970-4),
where the gag was that Wilson delivered it in drag. By 1981 the
abbreviation WYSIWIG was well enough established to be used in
advertising copy.
