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 neologism2. no reason you can't use a different sense of a word in a definition so long as it isn't circular

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

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

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.

I've done web dev stuff since 1995 and never even considered the possibility that it could be 'jiff' until I heard someone say it this way maybe three years ago. It's preposterous and wrong no matter what anybody says.

I'm pretty sure in Dutch it should be 'hiff'
― Ismael Klata, Friday, 26 April 2013 21:06 (eleven years ago) link
xp: exactly, why change the sound of the g from what it is in "graphic"? "gif" and "jpeg" aren't supposed to be alliterative.
next thing I know someone's going to try and tell me it should be "guh-peg" or "jah-peeg" or something equally wrong

I've only come round to saying hard G in the last 5 years or so. Since I first came across them on Compuserve I pronounced it soft G, and since I never heard said it loud or heard it said by anyone else, I just always assumed it was so and said soft G, convinced I was right. But there's no point swimming against the tide of truth.
