Yeahhhhh righhhhhht,
Next they'll be telling us Gibs is pronounced with a "J".
heheheh I remember a few of the LAN parties I hosted, some younger new kids would come, or brothers and sisters of our regulars would come and say JIBS. Kids these days....
The article doesn't open for me at work so I don't know if this is mentioned, but "giblets" is in fact pronounced "jiblets," and "gibbet" is likewise "jibbet".
A kill is not a "JIB".
As in, I like the cut of your JIB.
Ya, but it's probably short for giblet, referring to all the bloody guts and organs flying around. Wikipedia says it's pronounced jibs, incidentally.
When you order chicken giblets in a restaurant, do you order "Chicken Jiblets"? Or Gizzards "Jizzards?" I doubt it - if you do, they will laugh you out of there. But apparently, some places or use of the word say JIB, with a soft g/J. Sounds weird to me. Other uses of the word gib are pronounced GIB, which is why I always have used it that way....

Never heard it pronounced JIB in a game either. Been saying, hearing, etc "GIB" since 1994-ish.
If I was referring to a gigabyte, I wouldn't say JIG for short, that is a fishing lure. I would say Gig. The list goes on and on.
