How it is flawed logic? It's spelled almost exactly like "gift", and it's not pronounced "jift" in English.

For real though, the creators of the gif file pronounce it as "jif"

I don't really care how it's pronounced. I can't recall a particular time when I actually had to say this word out loud in a real life conversation

The same as you pronounce the word
gift
, but without the "t" obviously.
Whenever I see the word on ATRL though I can't help but think of it as "jif" in my head.
