F. Scott Fitzgerald's famous novel, The Great Gatsby is called so because of the main character (which is not Nick, as many do believe) named James Gatz, who is madly in love with the married Daisy Buchannan, whom he used to date when they were younger. Gatz and Daisy were separated by Gatz' military obligations, and when he left the military, he changed his name to Jay Gatsby and began to run a bootlegging operation and have expensive parties in order to draw Daisy back to him. Eventually she does find him again, and that's when things really get interesting.

Gat is slang for gun. Gastby wears a pink suite. Gatsby is as dangerous as a gun.
