    It’s a joke from another meme. There was much debate about how to pronounce gif. Is it like the beginning of give or more like jiffy.

    This is a level 2 meme, you have to know a level 1 meme to understand this one.

          I’ve got a gift for that giraffe. It’s a jay-pedge.

          It’s an initialism, not an acronym.

          The inventor of the common pronunciation of GIF? That’d be like, 20 million people wouldn’t it?

            The man who invented the format/word. He gave his input as well.

              Just because someone made it doesn’t mean they understand it.

              I could draw a picture of a purple dragon fucking a monkey but couldn’t tell you why.

                But I feel they have more legitimacy and say than you or I. That being said, language is a fluid thing and influenced by the masses.

                  You can’t argue with these folks. Reminds of when Andy and Erin write the song about Sabre but thought it was pounced SAB-REE so everything rhymed with that.
