It's gift without the t. Anyone who says otherwise is just wrong.

Does it stand for "Grease in Naphtaline" because that's how it tastes like?

How many of these (at least the ones that can be mashed into a pronounceable word) do you say with a 'J' sound instead of a hard 'G' sound?

There's NO RULE THAT SAYS THE LETTER IN THE ACRONYM HAS TO BE PRONOUNCED THE SAME.
CERN. Do people bitch about that one?

And there was already a precedent set 30 years ago. GEOS. How do you pronounce that? Because if you use a hard G you're a moron.

The guy who invented it says it's pronounced "jiff". It's meant to sound like "jiffy" as in speedy. IT'S JIFF

Any one who pronounces it "jif" is a fag and will be infracted. This is official board policy.

Thank you for your cooperation.

Everyone who pronounces it with a hard "g" is supporting rape culture

Good. If the choice was a world without rape and people say jif. or tons of rape and gif. I am doubling down on the hard G. I hope you get raped by a clown then are forced to lick jiff off his balls.

It's not a word

It's an acronym

Why would you claim they follow the same rules
