Just like how I pronounce "gift"... just without T in the end. I don't call gift as "jift".

Of course you don't. But that's not the same reasoning that would apply to how "gif" should be pronounced.

Just because you take the 't' out of "boat" doesn't mean that "boa" sounds the same as the beginning of "boat". "Boat" isn't pronounced "bow-aht".
 
We didn't have a pronunciation guide back in the 90's, so we said "GIF".
I've said "GIF" since then and I'll be in the cold cold ground before I recognize Jif as anything other then a peanut butter brand.
 
I haven't read the whole thread, but I'll say this:

The creator of the format said it's "jif".

So it's fucking "jif".
