Isn't it an abbreviation for 'goosing' your boys in the booty

According to the Grok:
"Gig 'em" is a phrase commonly associated with Texas A&M University. It's a rallying cry and greeting used by Aggies (students, alumni, and fans of the university) to show school spirit and support, particularly for their sports teams. The term comes from an old tradition of "gigging" frogs—using a multi-pronged spear called a gig—which was a popular pastime in rural Texas. In the context of Texas A&M, "Gig 'em" is often accompanied by a thumbs-up gesture, symbolizing enthusiasm and encouragement, especially to "stick it to" their rivals. It’s been a part of Aggie culture since at least the 1930s and is deeply tied to the university's identity.

Aggies often flash a thumbs up and say “Gig ’em!” — a phrase that dates back to 1920. It was popularized when P.L. “Pinkie” Downs, a member of the Texas A&M Board of Regents and Class of 1906, asked the crowd at a yell practice before a Texas Christian University football game, “What are we going to do to those horned frogs?” He answered his own question with “Gig ’em, Aggies!” — referencing a sharp-pronged frog-hunting tool called a gig. For emphasis, he made a fist with his thumb extended straight up.
Today, the phrase and thumbs-up gesture are a symbol of Aggies’ optimism, determination, loyalty and the Aggie Spirit. Usually done with the right hand, the Gig ’em sign also showcases the Aggie Ring, traditionally worn on that hand.

When asking Grok if the term has gay connotations:
Today, the campus has an LGBTQ+ Pride Center, and attitudes have softened—A&M dropped off that "unfriendly" list by 2017. Within this evolving space, it’s conceivable that some queer Aggies might have jokingly riffed on "Gig 'em" as an in-group nod

At a Mardi Gras parade this year, there was a group from A&M marching in the parade (a drill team, I believe). They stopped in front of us. Being a welcoming host, I offered up a "gig 'em" to the Aggies, who responded with same.
My teenager next to me asked why I said gig 'em. When I explained what it was, the teenager responded, "that's dumb."

Hmmm, sorry vernon but your reading comprehension really sucks or you are just really ignorant. I pretty sure it is just really ignorant which would explain poor reading comprehension.
