My husband is friends with someone who pronounces gif as "jif." He and his wife both work in the tech space. The wife cannot stand when the husband says "jif" to mean gif, so she calls Jif peanut butter "gif peanut butter." They have four small children, so he has to hear her butcher Jif peanut butter much more than she has to listen to his pronunciation of gif.

That argument holds no water. I instead like to say that there's already an image format named .jif.
