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.
