I hate you feel that way. Can I get you a jift to make you feel better?
It will be a guygantic jift. A large external drive that can hold MANY jiggabytes. Just be careful, it will take a lot of power. 1.21 jiggawatts at least.
yeah man, just like you go scuba diving oo-nderwater.
it’s a dead end. We can’t pretend that “g” can’t also be pronounced as “j”, or that the words making up the acronym matter. It’s all preference and since GIF’s dad called it “jif”, I’m gonna call it “jif”. At least that’s based on something beyond my own hubris.
I seen a guraffe at the zoo!
And it had a gift.
Was it a gyro?
If it were gyf or gir, then it could have been gyro or giraffe. But no, it was a gift of gif.
Sorry, did you say it had a gif?
I mean it’s funny but of course you are objectively wrong.

Don’t you mean a jay-raffe?
This one is good
You lie guraffos are lies told by whores and god
But the g in gif stands for “graphical,” not “giraffe!” You silly goose
That’s easily the worst reasoning for the hard-g considering how we don’t pronounce the letters of most acronyms based on the phrases they come from.
Tell that to Qantas, the abomination of all acronyms. WHERE IS THE U??? AAAAAAAAA

This is my thinking - as far as I know he actually called it that as a reference to jif peanut butter.
Saying it with a hard G because ‘graphical’ has a hard G is a reason based on something beyond hubris.
Just like jpeg is pronounced “jfeg”
The p in jpeg stands for “photographic”.
So… “jay-feg”?
