yeah man, just like you go scuba diving oo-nderwater.
it’s a dead end. We can’t pretend that “g” can’t also be pronounced as “j”, or that the words making up the acronym matter. It’s all preference and since GIF’s dad called it “jif”, I’m gonna call it “jif”. At least that’s based on something beyond my own hubris.

This is my thinking - as far as I know he actually called it that as a reference to jif peanut butter.
Saying it with a hard G because ‘graphical’ has a hard G is a reason based on something beyond hubris.
