The Stig's name derives from presenter Jeremy Clarkson's schooldays at Repton School. According to Clarkson, new students were always called "Stig." A proposed name for the Stig was originally "The Gimp" until protests from Perry McCarthy nixed the idea. Officially there have been two Stigs on the show, while an American "cousin" of the Stig also made a cameo appearance in one episode.

Comedian Jimmy Carr finally told all during his 'Off the telly' tour. At the London event, he was asked by a member of the audience who the Stig was, and without hesitation said, "Well, it used to be Damon Hill, now it's some rally driver." This recieved an "Oooooh" from the audience, after which he said, "Yeah, I signed a contract with BBC not to release that information, but so what, I've also got a contract with Channel 4

Apparently the Stig's name comes from when Jeremy Clarkson went to school, as any new students were nicknamed "Stig."

Stig Blomqvist, Swedish rally driver
Stig To ballbag (a phrase defined as "showing off") about culinary skills whilst not actually being able to perform such tasks. For example, a dishwasher who might brag about being a chef. "I made a dish of mashed potato and cabbage today, it is a fine cuisine". This kinda of character is extremely frowned upon, often referred to as a "dick" or "******". Any hole's a goal.
