"G"ibs vs "J"ibs

[QuakeDuke]

This gib bing short for "giblets" is kinda funny to be due to the fact i pronounce it with a hard "g" too lol. Oh well guess im the oddball then

I also. Due perhaps to our being one of

Those of you who grew up in some of the (ahem) less refined parts of the country may recall, as I do, "gigging" bullfrogs (hard G) in your youth with a spear known as a gig."

I've always called it Gib, like the G from Girl.  Weren't the guys from the BG's last name Gib, or Gibb?

Pronouncing it Jib doesn't sound as good to me, but perhaps that's from 5+ years calling it G-ibs.

Actually, giblet is pronounced with a Hard G, like Girl is it not?  Just looked it up in the dictionary, and I think it is supposed to use a hard G, from the pronunciation key it looked that way anyway.

My old (1960s) American Heritage lists only the soft G; the most recent Merriam-Webster lists the hard G as an alternate pronunciation. We'll never solve this issue!

I win (dont know nor care how but i do )

Well, given the events of this past weekend re: Reagan, maybe we can put this issue to rest (pardon the pun!) by asking how it would sound if we said "Win one for the Jipper".  I guess that points to a hard "G", heheh.

[Slikkster]

Uh oh...just realized that "Gipped" (as in ripped-off) is at odds with the hard "G" of Gipper.  The controversy continues...heheh.

[Whirlingdervish]

I generally use a "j" sound...
I always thought it was derived from "giblets" too.

woah, major necro post 

[Whirlingdervish]

yeah it's a super necroposting, but it was a good thread that deserved a second chance...
I'd like to see if anyone's opinion has changed too.

Your all retarded why would u even think JIB.. its Gibbed been around since like q1 . And when the hell has tweak ever been called jibs? BS.... EMO GEEKER!!! 

[Whirlingdervish]

actually I've also heard "jib" used in reference to speed/meth/glass..

mostly as a pronoun for meth itself, but occasionally I heard other forms of it used, like so:

jib              (where's my sack of jib?)
jibbing       (he's been jibbing for 5 days now without sleep)
jibbed out  (what a jibbed out loser)
jib-whore   (don't be a jib-whore)

What ancient bullshit is this?

I pour giblet (jib) gravey on my cornbread, sage dressing.

If you consider dressing to be cornbread (the only real true dressing) then I automatically approve of your opinion on the pronounciation.

If you consider dressing to be whitebread dressing or stuffing  , then I cannot hold you as intelligent and your opinion means nothing to me.
