Since you asked...it's Gif (with a hard G)

The discussion began with changing the cat on Everett's blog. Here's the Gif I used :) But do I call it a Gif (with a hard G like Gift) or a Gif (with a soft J like Jiff)? According to Newsweek (article link ) , it should be the hard G, like Gift. Reasons: *The "G" in GIF stands for Graphic , which is pronounced with a hard G. It's Graphic Interchange Format. *"Gift" is GIF's closest neighbor. *A computer would pronounce the acronym with a hard "G." *Our brains logically just want to pronounce it with a hard G. But the creator feels otherwise. In his acceptance of the Webby Lifetime achievement award ( Not going to lie-kind of cool to think about the real people who created the things that we use everyday and that there are awards for this stuff!) . He says (Jiff) I think I will probably still say it with the hard G because it makes sense to my brain.

B-ball season is right around the corner, I can’t wait! Get ready for some Jags basketball this winter. Meeting next Tuesday in LGI to discuss workouts and conditioning leading up to tryouts #GoJags #EAT I tried several different Google searches and a call to Liv, before we decided to look up "EAT acronym". We knew from our searches on Twitter that it was related to sports. Effort Attitude Toughness These are things we can all control. As an athlete, and a human, the EAT philosophy leads to success. "Every single successful person I know does everything with great effort, a positive attitude, and mental & physical toughness." Jeff Hamhauser-youth football coach http://www.jeffehemhau...

Hiiiiyeeee!

I didn't post Friday because I was watching TV with my daughter. We were watching our favorite show-RuPaul's Drag Race. An interesting trend right now is that phrases from drag culture (which are also from African American culture-particularly women) are popping up on Twitter and are now mainstream. In fact, I have heard students saying these phrases up and down the halls and I have to giggle to myself because I doubt many of them know what they are saying. So here are few favorites and what they mean (just so you know). YAS! - This word was created as an exclamation to yell at drag queens while they were performing as a sign of support and encouragement. Spill the T/Tea-S lang for the word truth or gossip. Used in a sentence: "Girl, I'm about to spill the tea on everything that happened last night." Gagging- Used when something is so fierce, you can’t help but want to gag from the overload of extreme fierceosity. Sickening- Amazing, ...
