Jif is where it's at. Peanut butter and image format? Yes please

But Jif in Australia is a cleaning solution - can we have different pronunciations based on country?

No need, it's Gif. Heathens be damned.

Y'all love diminutives, call them jiffies?

Jiffy is already an abstract measurement of time though

Fits perfectly.
Jiffy is the average length of a gif.

Give me about four jiffies, I’ve just got to finish wiping my ass

Yes, and that’s stupid.

It’s not ‘Jraphical Image Format’. Gah!!!
