Overview

FOLDOC, the Free On-Line Dictionary of Computing created by Denis Howe, has one explanation of the term:

»YAFIYGI, [pronounced "yaf'ee-y*-gee"]; The command-oriented ed/vi/nroff/TeX style of word processing or other user interfaces which are not WYSIWYG. What you actually asked for is often not immediately apparent.

This precise sense of "You asked for it, you got it" seems to have first appeared in Ed Post's classic parody "Real Programmers don't use Pascal"; the acronym is a more recent (as of 1993) invention«.
