If it were gyf or gir, then it could have been gyro or giraffe. But no, it was a gift of gif.

[-] themeatbridge@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Sorry, did you say it had a gif?

I mean it's funny but of course you are objectively wrong.

[-] Cyanogenmon@lemmy.world -2 points 1 year ago

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.

You lie guraffos are lies told by whores and god

[-] Ktheone@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Don't you mean a jay-raffe?

[-] SwallowsDick@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

This one is good

[-] protist@mander.xyz -2 points 1 year ago

But the g in gif stands for "graphical," not "giraffe!" You silly goose

[-] TommySalami@lemmy.world 13 points 1 year ago

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.

[-] Cyanogenmon@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

This is my thinking - as far as I know he actually called it that as a reference to jif peanut butter.

[-] Instigate@aussie.zone -4 points 1 year ago

Saying it with a hard G because ‘graphical’ has a hard G is a reason based on something beyond hubris.

[-] SuperIce@lemmy.world 13 points 1 year ago

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.

[-] norawibb@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 year ago

Tell that to Qantas, the abomination of all acronyms. WHERE IS THE U????? AAAAAAAAA

[-] hamFoilHat@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago

Just like jpeg is pronounced "jfeg"

[-] kibiz0r@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

The p in jpeg stands for “photographic”.

So… “jay-feg”?
