Ologies with Alie Ward

CHAPTER

Jiff vs Giff

Giff is a recently made up word. If they wanted it to be pronounced Giff, they probably should have gone with a J instead of a G. I'm on Giff because it's less equivocal. Can't mix it up with the lemons. All you really need to know is that if you get an eggplant text... It's a lascivia. Better be from your husband.
