I’d never heard this term before until my DH and I were watching a recent episode of “ER” where a couple w/ a GPS system in their car followed the female’s voice instructing them to drive straight into Lake Michigan. They called the GPS ‘Betty,’ which I thought was funny because we have nicknamed our GPS ‘GiGi’ for ‘Garmin Girl’.

So I say it’s a military thing, and he says no. Google (and my very informal poll at work) tells me I’m right. Ha. Think I’ll email him this page.
