        Pardon me while I go feed my giant geriatric giraffe, George. He likes generic foods, so long as they are germ free and genetically unmodified.

        Afterwards, I’m gonna hit the gym, gently gesticulate while talking to someone about geography, geometry, and genetics, maybe consume some protein gel packs.

        As a genuine gesture of gentlemanly genius, my genuine German genie will conjure up some gems to pay for everything.

        Get the gist of what I’m saying?

      It is infact Graphics Interchange format. Not Jirafics Interchange format.

      I know the creator pronounces it Jif, but there are lots of people in the world who pronounce things wrong.

      I offer up “niche”. It’s actually not nitch no matter how many people say it like that.

      Lookit all the nerds I triggered. Popcorn time!

        Just like JPEG is pronounced as a JFEG, cause it stands for Joint Photographic Experts Group.

        “There are lots of people in the world who pronounce things wrong”

        “Its actually not nitch no matter how many people say it like that”

        You’re this close to getting it.
