  • Geography
  • Geology
  • Giraffe
  • Generous

Just a few examples that come to mind. Additionally, the pronunciation of the individual words included in an acronym DOES NOT determine the pronunciation of that acronym. See SCUBA as an example.

As long as you don't shame others with reasons that don't make sense, you can pronounce it gif for all I care

It's GIF. Just because you create something doesn't mean you aren't fucking dumb. Eventually, it's no longer yours anyway lol.
