well - at least two reasons

1. "to ejaculate"

2. Giclee is rapidly being appropriated by the art reproduction printers
(and gradually becoming seen in the gallery owner/publics eyes to mean art
reproduction) so "a giclee" is coming more and more to mean a quality
reproduction of an original work, rather than (also) meaning and original
print - in this case a "photogrpahic" print
