Here ya go

Fuzzy explained it like this back in July 2003 (the last entry is most common here on TDPRI) :

Quote:
# Tew or more members of a family in the African country of Ethiopia. The family lives in the city of Molulo and their name is Getu. 2 Getu = Getus.
# GETUS is a translation of GET, the french version of a software made to edit easily timetables in University Departments. GET is used in more than 60 french universities.
# getus.net A web Site Design Development Maintenance Consulting buisness.
# The Locale class provides a number of convenient constants that you can use to create Locale objects for commonly used locales. For example, the following refers to a Locale object for the United States: Locale::getUS
# Getus, thought te be a Pictish king. However not found it the Histories of Fordun and Winton, in the pages of the Scalacronica and Chronicles of Tighernach, in the Irish copy of Nennius, in the extracts published by Sir Robert Sibbald and Father Innes from the lost Register of St Andrews, and in the old "Chronicum Regum Pictorum ;" supposed to be written about A.D. 1020, and preserved in the Colbertine Library.
# Getus, the HTML page title for the web page made by Water tower articles.com pointing tew a historical watertower in the village of Mendocino.
# A jpg image linked to from the site homepage.mac.com/jbeck/artwork/john/johnphoto.html
# Getus pollunous--- Mullein blooms
# Bored yet?
# O.K., O.K. , a common mans term fer scratch, bread yenom, dinero, coin and/or money. Came tew my attention from a country boy about the same time the term "Skinny"did. Common usage= "watts the skinny on that?" or watt's the situation, reason, justification, deal, goin on, happinin with, low-down and many other phrases shortened by the term.
