giblets
[JIHB-lihts]
Generally, the term "giblets" refers to the heart, liver and gizzard
of domesticated fowl and game birds. Sometimes the neck is also
included in this grouping. All but the liver are used for flavoring
stocks and soups. The liver is usually cooked separately and, in the
case of ducks and geese, is considered a delicacy.

mispronounced

'jib'-lets' here. Contemporary Midwestern newscaster-speak dialect.

And giblets are only suitable for the gravy. And the finer they are
diced and the more they are cooked the better. Except for the neck
meat, that is delish!

I hear it both ways locally. Haven't sorted out where the various
speakers originated so can't comment on regionality.

I might add this to my Unhelpful US English Pronunciation List:
a as in pan
aa as in Aaron
au as in caught
e as in pen
ee as in creek
i as in pin
l as in calm
o as in cot
ou as in route
r as in car
s as in greasy

Here in Michigan, those are pronounced almost the same.

Is that homonymous with root or rout?
(Come to think of it, root has a couple of
different regional pronunciations. Does it
rhyme with boot or foot?)

Or z as in greasy?

Just messin' with ya.

Huh? You omitted "g" as in gibberish.

Every English dictionary contains a pronunciation chart.

Same here - have heard both pronunciations; FWIW, I usually call
them 'jiblets' but that's only because my Mom always pronounced it that
way <g>

We always said "great gooey gobs of greasy grimey gopher guts." Both
are just as sickening.

In Minnesota, Aaron and Erin are pronounced the same (as far as I can
tell.)

If I remember correctly, it's a north-south thing; with the dividing
line somewhere north of the Mason-Dixon Line.

The 'greazy' pronunciation evolved from *** southerners not being able
to pronounce 'greasy' without lithping into greathy... rooted in the
doctrine of don't ath don't tell.

Earlier in the song was a camp name. Hello mudda. Hello fadda. Here I
am in Camp Wakacoda.

Great big gobs of greasy grimey gopher guts - was how I learned the line.

Soft g jiblets - The vast majority of Americans I know say it that way.

Hard g giblets - A small minority of Americans I know say it that way.

I think they are both allowed pronunciations.

Are you planning to give the gift of giblets to the heirs of the late
Henry Gibson? I like the cut of your jib, if so.

English, eh? I saw a sore when I looked at my arm, while you fellers
sore a saw.

Sorry, missed this. No, it's s as in greasy. This is an unhelpful

We always pronounced it the same way, however my third grade teacher
pronounced it "goblet" like the glass.

The school cafeteria put them in the gravy, my mother put them in the cat.

Some people pronounce it "greasey" and others "greazey". In North
Florida it was always like a "z". Harry Harrison made a play on this
the name of a character in a series of stories, "Slippery Jim DiGriz",
aka "The Stainless Steel Rat".

When I was a kid, my mother got the gizzard, I got the heart, and the
cat
got the liver.

I usually throw the giblets away now (my husband doesn't like them in
either the gravy or the dressing), but sometimes I simmer the heart
and eat it.

My mom loved all the giblets. I hate the gizzards, always have, so when
she made pastina with gizzards and hearts, I would pick out the gizzards
and give them to her.

I fry the liver and heart in butter and eat them. I toss the gizzards
and neck into the stockpot.
