1. It's pronounced: "You're gonna eat WHAT!?"
(Gravy is fine, but personally I don't want to spend too much time thinking about eating bird guts...)

2. Soft 'g'
Perhaps your co-workers confuse it with "gimlet." :shrug:

10. I found
it a bit interesting at first, but now it's making me uneasy. No offense.
You just might find it a bit difficult to keep the interest of people you are trying to persuade.

4. Both. I also go by the philosophy that there's no such thing as "correct" in the English language

8. To the three people who voted for the hard "g"....
You are all invited to my house on Thanksgiving so that we can have an enormous laugh when you ask somebody to pass the giblet gravy. :rofl:

9. hard g gravy
Edited on Thu Nov-16-06 03:06 AM by votesomemore
just begs to not be passed.

It is absolutely GIBLET, hard g. If someone looks at me and says pass the jiblets? I think, who taught this guy English.

The one that cooks it gets to name it. Fair enough?

edit: but whatever amuses you is a winner.

13. I've never ever heard
...it pronounced with a hard "G". I guess that's an East Coast thing.
