"jod" was clearly meant to be humorous, and the delivery was perfect. "Jift" was either an attempt at a real argument, or else it was piggybacking on the previous joke making it unoriginal in addition to poorly delivered.

Also, how do you pronounce giraffe?

Like, as in "jiraffe" or are you literally saying "guh-raffe"?

That still doesn't tell me whether you're using a soft g or a hard g

At this point only IPA can help, only it uses the same symbol, smh: ɡɪˈrɑːf

Edit: it looks like monospace doesn't render IPA properly: ɡɪˈrɑːf
