GIGO stands for "Garbage In, Garbage Out". It is a concept in computer science and mathematics, which essentially means that the quality of output is determined by the quality of the input. If you provide inaccurate or non-sensical input data, the output data or results you receive will also be inaccurate or non-sensical.
The New Hacker's Dictionary
GIGO
1. ‘Garbage In, Garbage Out’ — usually said in response to lusers who complain that a program didn't “do the right thing” when given imperfect input or otherwise mistreated in some way. Also commonly used to describe failures in human decision making due to faulty, incomplete, or imprecise data. 2. Garbage In, Gospel Out: this more recent expansion is a sardonic comment on the tendency human beings have to put excessive trust in ‘computerized’ data.
