g as in gif
Wrong, it’s pronounced “gif”
g as in genuine ginormous gendered giraffes gesticulating gingerly
I wish it was gnuf
How dare you come here with this blasphemy.
Looks like Wikipedia decided to let the users battle it out since they have both listed. Both the right and the wrong way.

*“Jeff”
