What does it mean?

It is self explanatory. Say you buy six apples and there are no more for sale. One may have a bad spot and you ask the person selling them; "You have any better apples" They say; "What you see is what you get". Best I can explain it to you.

WYSIWYG - What You See Is What You Get
Pronounced WIZ-zee-wig. Short for what you see is what you get. A WYSIWYG application is one that enables you to see on the display screen exactly what will appear when the document is printed. This differs, for example, from word processors that are incapable of displaying different fonts and graphics on the display screen even though the formatting codes have been inserted into the file. WYSIWYG is especially popular for desktop publishing.
Note that the WYSIWYGness of an application is relative. Originally, WYSIWYG referred to any word processor that could accurately show line breaks on the display screen. Later WYSIWYGs had to be able to show different font sizes, even if the screen display was limited to one typeface. Now, a word processor must be able to display graphics and many different typefaces to be considered WYSIWYG.

In this time of 'it's all about me' we are not willing to put any more of ourselves out there than what is on the surface. We will not commit until we know it is worth it to us. Therefore, 'what you see is what you get'.
