This expression, often used humorously or ironically, may have originated in Australia, according to Eric Partridge. Possibly it alludes to what a salesperson explains to a customer (as in, “No, this model doesn’t have four-wheel drive—what you see is what you get”). It gained currency in the United States with The Flip Wilson Show in the early 1970s, in which the comedian dressed in women’s clothes as the character Geraldine and declared “What you see is what you get.” This writer used it on being introduced to her daughter’s future in-laws, who asked about other relatives in our family. Pointing to her husband and herself, she declared, “What you see is what you get.” The Australian novelist Jon Cleary used it in Dilemma (1999), “Yet there was no mystery to her, something else he always looked for in a woman . . . What you saw was what you got had never interested him as an attraction.”See also: get, see, whatWhat You See Is What You Get
What You See Is What You Get (jargon)(WYSIWYG) /wiz'ee-wig/ Describes a user interface fora document preparation system under which changes arerepresented by displaying a more-or-less accurate image of theway the document will finally appear, e.g. when printed. Thisis in contrast to one that uses more-or-less obscure commandsthat do not result in immediate visual feedback.
True WYSIWYG in environments supporting multiple fonts orgraphics is rarely-attained; there are variants of this termto express real-world manifestations including WYSIAWYG (WhatYou See Is *Almost* What You Get) and WYSIMOLWYG (What You SeeIs More or Less What You Get). All these can be mildlyderogatory, as they are often used to refer to dumbed-downuser-friendly interfaces targeted at non-programmers; ahacker has no fear of obscure commands (compare WYSIAYG).On the other hand, Emacs was one of the very first WYSIWYGeditors, replacing (actually, at first overlaying) theextremely obscure, command-based TECO.
