contents We establish an alternative, ``perpendicular" collection of generating functions for the coefficients of Gaussian polynomials, $\begin{bmatrix}N+m\\m\end{bmatrix}_q$. We provide a general characterization of these perpendicular generating functions. For small values of $m$, unimodality of the coefficients of Gaussian polynomials is easily proved from these generating functions. Additionally, we uncover new and surprising identities for the differences of Gaussian polynomial coefficients, including a very unexpected infinite family of congruences for coefficients of $\begin{bmatrix}N+4\\4\end{bmatrix}_q$.
