More Pronounciation

[Job]

My friends call 'em gibs, so do I. But they pronounce it "gibs" with the "g" like "give". I pronounce it "jibs". How do you guys pronounce it?

[Naked Snake]

It's gibs, no doubt about it.

[Ichor]

Gibs, as in "great big gobs of greasy, grimy gopher guts".

[DooMBoy]

I pronounce it "jibs".

[Disorder]

I pronounce it as "G"ibs.

[BlueSonnet]

I've been told you pronounce it Jib but it tend to feel Gib has more of an impact.

[Lord FlatHead]

Jibs.

[Rotting Corpse]

"Gibs" I wonder if stands for some thing.

Short for "giblets", like the innards of a fowl.

I say 'gibs' because the first time I ever heard it, my friend was telling me about this Quake mod where you could make you gun shoot 'gibs'. I was like 'what the Hell are gibs?'. Despite the fact that I know it's short for 'giblets' (pronounced with a 'j' sound), my friends and I still say 'gibs'. Its funny, because some of the people I know have actualy reversed this and now say 'Giblets'.

[DOOM Anomaly]

[Ichor]

Guess what movie that came from, heheh.

[Amaster]

It's "G"ibs for me.

Heh, my crappy college is called "Gibbs". Thats it's only redeeming quality.

[Draconio]

Giblets is pronounced with a j sound.

Therefore logically gibs should be pronounced with a j sound. :P

It's jibs all the way for me.

[myk]

Not necessarily. Pronouncing giblets with a g seems to be acceptable:

Thus gibs is OK.

I know someone who has the last name of Gibbs. :p Back on subject, I pronounce it as 'g'ibs, although it really doesn't matter to me how people pronounce it.

[Silverwyvern]

[CyRaptor]

jibs.

[sargebaldy]

never understood why anyone would call them "jibs", when they're spelled Gibs and is short for giblets (or so i thought)

I've always heard "giblets" pronounced with a 'g' that sounds like a 'j'. So it was only natural that I pronounce them that way. That's my justification.
