‘Gen’ as a synonym for Atty?

English Language & Usage Asked by B.David on January 23, 2021

The Words With Friends dictionary tells me that ‘Gen’ means attorney,
Is this a general term for lawyers?
Does it have any special connotations?
Is it office slang?
How is it pronounced; like gin?

One Answer

No, "Gen" meaning lawyer is unknown to most dictionaries. (However they have other definitions for "gen" so it is allowed to be played.)

"gen" can mean "information". The OED says it originated as R.A.F. slang.

Other dictionaries have also "gen" used as slang for "generation".
