I lost any respect for Chris Hardwick when I first saw that. He lost all geek cred. /noitalics

This is the most I have ever agreed with anything posted on the internet.

It's been "jiff" before Hardwick had his first hosting job, and that was a fucking long time ago. Just because you have a TV show doesn't mean you get to decide important issues like the pronunciation of GIF

Disagree and F*ck the white font. Stay strong colored name brothers!

Actually you are probably right, but I had never heard anyone call it a "JIFF"

 

[ulukinatme]

If there ever was a reason to pronounce it as "jiff":

Hardwick isn't deciding anything; it's basic phonics. GIF an acronym for "Graphics Interchange Format." Graphics is pronounced with a hard "g". Insisting that the "g" in the acronym use a soft pronunciation when the word it comes from starts with a hard "g" is... well, retarded would be a bit much here, but might be appropriate for having a strong opinion on this debate in the first place. How about arbitrary? Irrational? Or inconsistent?

Perhaps I've been pronouncing "graphics" wrong all along. What sort of jraphics card do you have in your computer? I bet it's pretty jreat!

Assuming you speak 'Murican, though, kindly g-g-get the fuck out with that illiterate bullshit.

I agree with all that, and I'll add that I don't care what Chris Hardwick or any one particular person thinks the proper pronunciation is. .gif with a hard G is standard, so that's how I say it.

One of the beautiful things about our language, as has been recognized from the time of Samuel Johnson to now, is that, in contrast to other languages like the much-derided (in 'Murica) French, we don't strangle our language by pedantically correcting it as it evolves; we let it evolve. True, this is why our language has changed more since Shakespeare than theirs has since the Norman conquest, but it is what it is.

See the piece below. The last item is relevant:

8 pronunciation errors that made the English language what it is today | David Shariatmadari | Comment is free | theguardian.com

Basically, if you INSIST on saying "jiff" instead of "gif", even assuming that was ever correct, then you'd better also start calling it "shiing" instead of "skiing."

Shit, phonics is all fucked up when it comes to English though. I recollect a lesson from Gallagher. Starts around 3:20

So, with that said...if the creator of the GIF calls it "jiff," then I say it's "jiff."

Ok bishes... If you doods don't have a hypothesis on the white fonts or a jif/gif to post, then I demand a recipe. I'll start. The worlds best jerky. I like venison.

To make really good muscle-meat jerky, easy:

1 - 10-12oz bottle reduced sodium soy sauce
1 - 12oz bottle Louisiana-style hot sauce
2oz liquid smoke (I like hickory)

Mix and marinate meat strips over night.
Dehydrate/Dry (be sure to get to 155-160 F)

Done...

Caprese Salad Recipe

Caprese Salad Recipe

1. Cut some tomatoes and basil and fresh mozzarella ball
2. put that shit on a plate and cover it with salt and olive oil (or pour balsamic vinaigrette for a treat, could even broil for 3-5 mins)


Also: F*ck the white fonts!

 

[Emcee77]

1. Catch a delicious king salmon in Lake Michigan or wherever is most convenient.
2. Clean it and reserve one slab for grilling.
3. Mix 1/2 cup of salt and 1/2 cup of brown sugar.
4. Get a piece of foil big enough to wrap the other slab in. Line it with plastic wrap. Spread 1/3 of the cup of salt/sugar on the plastic wrap. Put the fish on the plastic wrap, skin side down. Rub the rest of the salt/sugar mixture on the fish (Don't forget to pull the pinbones out before you do this.) Wrap up the fish and put it in the fridge for 24 hours. Flip it over once while curing. Try to weigh it down with a book or a brick or something to flatten it out.
5. Wash off the cure. Put the fish in a cool, dry place to dry out for an hour or two.
6. Throw the fish on your smoker and smoke it for 5 hours or so, keeping the temperature at about 160. I use hickory wood chips, but I've heard that pecan gives it a great flavor.
7. Get bagels and shmear from your favorite Jewish deli, and slice an onion.
8. Enjoy amazing breakfast all week long.

Place peppers and lamb on grill. Cook, turning and basting once with cumin marinade, until peppers are tender when pierced, and meat is done to your liking (cut to test), 10 to 15 minutes for medium rare.

Makes 6 servings.

I will be trying this. I have a good salmon recipe too.

1tbspn of salt
1tbspn of pepper
1/4 cup of Old Bay
1/2 cup of olive oil
1/4 cup of soy sauce
2 tbspn of syrup
2 tbspn of yellow mustard
1/2 can of full flavored beer (ie budweiser, PBR, etc)

Mix all ingredients into large ziplock and put two salmon fillets in it. Marinate in fridge for 2 hours. With skin facing down, grill on high heat until edges brown. The slide a spatula between the meat and the skin, removing it from the skin. Flip the fillet over on top of the skin and cook the other side until edges brown.

I have even cooked river salmon with this recipe and it was good, and those things usually tastes like an old boot.

Eye of the round is the best. But bottom round and flank steak are good cuts too.
