Le Mot du Jour: GAB

Sorry that I'm posting today's mot du jour so late, but it's been a long day over here in the East Coast. It started snowing today and I wouldn't have minded that if it wasn't for the wind slapping my face constantly. It's seriously cold outside!

Le mot du Jour est GAB. It's an abbreviation for Guichet Automatique de Banque. It means ATM/cash dispenser.

The sample sentence french.about.com give is:

• Les GAB sont trés commode. ATM's are very convenient.

Le GAB is also related to the word un guichet which means store window, counter, box office. It is also related to the world un guichetier which means counter clerk. 

Can I just say that this word is going to be so useful when I go abroad?!
