Pukka Gen...

I think "Gen" is from "intelliGENce" - Pukka being well-known for "Genuine" too... so it could be Gen Gen...

I met a Brit in Australia when I was serving in the RAF (FEAF) in 1969 who was so surprised when I used the phrase "Duff Gen" - a phrase he hadn't heard for many years - that he asked me what I meant by it... obviously it meant wrong, dodgy, suspect information! The reverse of "Pukka Gen"...
