I’ll save this meme as a jiff.
I laughed at the meme…my wife is like “what?”
I sighed and said are you sure you want me to explain it?

I’m like this has many layers. None of which are in a direction you care about.
“It’s a comic where JRR Tolkien says “Gandalf” is actually pronounced “Jandalf”, a reference to the dumb side of the gif/jif debate. Also someone in the comments posted a denim-clad Gandalf since denim versions of things are often called that thing but with a “J” at the start of the name.”
For the curious “Gandalf” is made up of two old norse words “gandr” meaning a walking stick or staff and “álfr” moaning an elf. The movies pronounce it correctly of course.
You’re can’t just say Jandalf on Lemmy and not expect denim robes!

Its pronounced Jirraffe.
