how is .gif pronounced?

94 ilxors can be wrong

everyone’s right because in my head i’m pronouncing “giff” with a soft g

"my little jhetto blaster"

which immediately made me think "gheri curls".

"Man on the street" in Times Square interviewed on ABC and asked how he thought social media affected the election said "jiff".

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

THE verb

Gif It & Loop It, Jhøsh

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!

WORD OF THE YEAR 2012

jif it & loop it, ghosh

also, i'm no dictionary pro, but i thought you couldn't use the same word in its definition

*poops on parade from the clouds*

Anesthesia, noun

when you use Anesthesia

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

also, i'm no dictionary pro, but i thought you couldn't use the same word in its definition

It's not a crossword puzzle clue.

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

see, this is why i can't get my dictionary pro license

qif

that is how the word queef will be spelled in 2013 (word of the year 2013)

qif it and loop it

*poops on parade from the clouds*

You should totally geef that!

I would, but I'm really on good at jaipegging.

fuck the old time nerds, fuck the oed

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.

i totally missed that GIF is the oxford american dictionary word of the year. as a verb. what.

Can you gif that shit up for me?

i mean who even says that

i got so giffed last night

I'm gonna gif you so hard.

let me gif that for you

gif me baby

the giffed that keep on giffing

"...And when you think I've giffed you all I can / I'm gonna gif you a little bit more..."

verbing gifs

Gif It & Loop It, Jhøsh

barack obama: wrong on .gif, wrong for america

Im w the president here.

So am I. Gif we can believe in. Hard G, G.

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.

Commander-in-GIF

it's not a giraffe interchange format after all

I'm pretty sure in Dutch it should be 'hiff'

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

jah peg

—Bob Marley

Gay pegs

I'm pretty sure in Dutch it should be 'hiff'
