No. Not a Gri-Gri, a Gi-Gi (or so it sounds). A friend of mine keeps saying he wants to get one and I've got no idea what he's talking about. I've tried looking around for them, but nowhere to be found.
Do YOU know what he's talking about?

Ask your friend what function this 'Gi-Gi' serves. What does it do?

Apparently it is much like a Gri-Gri . . . but 'different.' His explanation was kind of vague.

a gi gi is a plate belay device. its primary trait is the ability to belay two seconds at once and locks off if either or both seconds fall. Here is a picture:

It's a dual-port Kong Gi-Gi belay device.
Here's the fashion version:

Spoken in French accent (France, not Quebec):
"Ooh-la-la! Dat Gi-gi, she is one 'ottie girl, non? I climb wit her sis-teur, Fi-fi, too!"
