Regardless of which word it originates from, it will always be 'Gib' to me. Instajib just sounds retarded.

Yes, giblets is pronounced jiblets therefore gib is pronounced jib...

I stand corrected then, I just checked this on dictionary.com and you're right! I always pronounced it as it looks, stupid English language pffttt.
