    Say gift. Now what you’re going to do next is leave out the T but enunciate the gif part the same way. Fuck you jif people!

      Say gigantic. Now what you’re going to do next is stop with your ANTICs and enunciate the gig the same way.

        Gin like Gin and Tonic. Use Gin instead next time. Don’t get me wrong I will forever call it gif(t) however to help you with your position using a 3 letter word may help.

        You may be explaining how superficial the Gift argument is by making it a much longer thing to take off but figured if you ever use it in a real way or argument you may want this one in your back pocket as well.

          The whole thing is funny when you look at the full phrase too. Graphical Interchange Format – it’s got both a hard g and a soft g. You could call a gif an image. You could also call it a graphic.

          At the end of the day, there really isn’t an answer, and there never will be. It’s a fun debate to fuck around with though

      I’ll tell the agile fragile fugitive gin-drinking giraffes eating ginger ginseng to imagine gingerly using their digits to engineer a geological survey of the gist of your comment. They ate too much gingerbread and now have gingivitis, so the margins of those attracted to religion aren’t as rigid as the original origins of those of that region and we have to remain vigilant lest magic supersede logic, which of course would be terrible for legislation of the legions.
