Not sure whether the question is serious, but in case it is, a "gap" year is a hiatus year between graduation and "life" when a new graduate may travel, or find something interesting to do or a cause to help (e.g., try writing a book, or give a year to an archeological dig or to Habitat for Humanity, something not intended to be a vocation), or do something else to expand his/her horizons.
To get one, you talk to whomever finances your life.
