adjl 03/04/25 5:31:54 PM #11:	Damn_Underscore posted... gif is pronounced like the g in giraffe I once convinced a bunch of people that the reason it was pronounced "jif" despite the G standing for "graphics" was because the first one created was adapted from a short video clip of a giraffe and the creator liked the punny portmanteau of "giraffics." I then told them I'd made the whole thing up because actually spreading misinformation is bad, but they'd 100% bought it until then and I was very proud of my bullshitting skills. --- This is my signature.
