If you don’t already know,
gif stands for graphic
interchange format. A gif is an animated image, one that moves like an animation. An example of a gif is down below.
Gif is a word that is pronounced with a
hard g. The reason it is pronounced with a hard g is because every other word in the english language that starts with gaf,
gef, gif,
gof and
guf, G followed by a vowel followed by an F, starts with a hard g.
Every name that starts with gaf, gef, gif, gof and guf, G followed by a vowel followed by an F starts with a g.
With both of those things in mind, it should be apparent that gif is pronounced with a hard g and not a soft g, atleast phonetically speaking, because according to the creator of
the gif, it is pronounced
jif.
Well that’s nice, because now I know that if I create a word, I can make it
disobey every phonetic rule in the English language.
e.g the word stomach is pronounced stoomocechie.
Jeffrey: Hey Geoffrey, did you see that new
jif of that grandma licking her dogs anus?
Geoffrey: Jeffrey, stop. Don’t talk to me ever again. Two things. Firstly, you realize gif is pronounced with a
hard g? Also, why are you watching a grandma lick a dog’s anus? That’s
sus as fuck. Get some help.
Jeffrey: Okay :(
