What does GIGO mean?

Garbage In, Garbage Out (GIGO) is a concept in computer science and mathematics that implies poor quality input will always produce faulty output. The quality of information coming out cannot be better than the quality of information that went in.
GIGO can also apply to any decision-making system in which inaccurate data can result in inaccurate results.
