GIF IS GIF

No way. gif is jif

Tell me why?

ain't nothin but a heartache

and you get some sats

Thank you so much for saying this, sound it out

I say “jif” 🤷‍♂️

Why? I really want to know the reasoning…. I am here to agree to disagree agreeably…

😂 my mind just correlates it to “giraffe” for some reason

100% logical… this is why this topic is so contentious

👀

Should I have not brought this up?

dʒɪf aka jif but I guess it depends on how you pronounce it. I tend to say gif with G

I say it the same way… jif I think is what the inventor of it calls it.. but that makes no sense to me at all

Maybe it does in countries where, sometimes, G is pronounced like a J. Me, I'm foreign, I pronounce a G as a G. 😉

Interesting maybe it is regional?

Maybe. I'm more of a png guy anyway

Same, is .gif the only animated one?

I think so. Like I said, I'm more of a png guy 😂

Is it Pee-en-Gee or Pee-en-Jay?

I think it's just peen in slang

Haven’t heard of that one before 🤙🏻😀

Lol, pink horse always makes me laugh!

Exactly

100% respect for this answer… seems simple, don’t it!?

Is #nostr pronounced nos-tra or nos-ter?

You had to go there! I was 100% noster but idk… I think the jury is still out… but that is my answer if I have to give one

Feeling feisty today? 🤣

Ya, I didn’t realize I was choosing violence today… lol

Supposedly the creator of the .gif format said it was “jif” like the peanut butter.

Or maybe it was the other way around… 🤔 I don’t really care 🤷‍♂️😌😂

No you are correct… I don’t get it… doesn’t the “g” stand for graphical?

“graphic interchange format”, according to siri/Wolfram

There we go! Ty

I actually pronounce it gif but I just really wanted to post this jif gif 😄

Nice meme… respect

It’s pronounced “ruff” you friggin degenerate. Not roof.

And a midwesterner just started doxing himself 😆

Jif, at least as indicated by the gif creator.

Kinda like noester vs. nawster…did we ever decide?

I like noester myself but I think the creator is wrong

Same 😂

Jif is peanut butter
