OK, a bunch are listed on the page ZS linked. I clearly should not post about anything requiring moderate alertness at this time of night.

that's funny they chose to verb, not the noun

THE verb

well yeah, i mean i know it can be a verb, but it just seems like the noun is the more basic version of it. oh well!

1. it's the word of the year because it's a new word they observed this year; GIF (n) was extant; gif (v) is a neologism
2. no reason you can't use a different sense of a word in a definition so long as it isn't circular

It's not a crossword puzzle clue.

Re-giffing has turned gif-giving into a cynical affair, indeed.

i always liked animated gifs because they sound like animated gifts.. which is basically what they are

little animated parcels of joy

This is BS, no one says "Oh can you GIF this?" they say "Can you make an animated GIF?"

Plug it, play it, burn it, rip it,
Drag and drop it, gif - ungif it

my sister makes gifs, i'm trying to remember how I ask her to make them. i think I say "you gotta make a gif of that" but maybe I use it as a verb. I certainly don't say "animated gif," how formal.
