Okay, I'll play! I'm completely willing to believe
it's pronounced like the peanut butter if with a
straight face you can tell me it stands for "giraffics
interchange format!"

Tall, but not *that* tall!

From: "Marguerite Krupp"

"In an interview, the guy who developed the graphic
interchange format (gif)said that he pronounced it
"JIF", as in peanut butter, in tribute to the
amounts of the stuff he consumed while developing the
format.

Maybe an urban legend, but it sounds like a lot of
programmers I know. We had a crisis here when the
company kitchen ran out of JIF."
