My LG RHOD GISH straight CL MIC focused PC is tired of straight PHB and wants a PrC from CD CW CA or possibly PHB2. I'm thinking RSoP, SotMI, or even EWM (except for the BAB). ChI would be great the BSB is no problem but it's NONC. I might even go PT to get WSp for MWM. As far as feats DSP and DMM are DOA so might take a DF like DoS, DS or SH.

Oh yeah the question- What does GISH mean?

I can kinda answer the GISH question, as I just found out myself.
Apparently it's a Fighter/Mage build with a high BAB and the ability to cast level 6+ spells.
I found a thread in the Character Optimization D&D boards that goes into more detail... :-)

Gish isn't an acronym. It's originally a term for a multiclassed githyanki fighter / wizard, and, while it's (IMHO) an ugly-sounding word, it's fallen into the vernacular for any fighter/mage combo.

Guys methinks this was a creative way to make fun of the multiple abbreviations used in DnD and not a desire to really know what Gish meant...
;)
lol;)

I got roughly everything, including the intent of the post, except what BSB is. Is it a typo for BAB or a PrC that I have not seen before?

You should find a way to include AoP, AoE, SLA, Su, Ex and others

BSB = Base Save Bonus

What does SLA and AoE mean?

Spell Like Ability and Area of Effect?
