gif

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 :(

gif

A rum drinking animal common to the Eastern parts of Australia. Few have witnessed its drinking ability, but those who have debate whether is man or beast. When engaged in its mating activites it is often mistaken for dancing. To be treated with caution..Females are most at risk.
