Yeah, I have friends who say it with a hard g and I never say a damn thing, but I say jif once and it's "jraphics" this and "jod" that. I get it, you watched that stupid video in 2012, congrats.

Maybe we should up the ante on this war, and start actively making fun of those who be hating on peanut butter. There are plenty of arguments for either pronunciation, but jiffers are losing the war bc we’re being so passive. Just living our lives, as if the pronunciation of a word doesn’t fucking matter if everyone knows what you mean…. We need to eradicate the culture of soft-g giffers
