Skagit (County in northern Washington, famous for tulips) rhymes with “gadget.” 
That’s where I was today. 
Umm… how else would you pronounce it?
I was saying “skagget” until the locals corrected me. It needs a “j” in place of the “g.”
That was how I read it, I’ve never heard of that county before. I don’t get Washington state.
An “i” following a “g” makes it a soft g.
Where do I begin?
Giddy up
There are always exceptions.
Not sure why anyone would assume a new word is an exception
Well then, have I got a gift for you 
I thought it was a joke when I first saw a picture of a geoduck.
i thought someone had hacked my “private” folder on my phone.
The Skagit Valley Tulip Festival is just about the first thing I did after moving to Washington state many moons ago.
I probably didn’t know how to say “geoduck” when I went. I knew Puyallup though as I’d already been to the fair.
Enough of the gibes.
Gisus, okay, I’ll stop.
Give us a few more first please
You go girl!
There happens to be a dictionary at hand. It looks like it’s close to 50/50 whether “gi-“ is hard or soft “g”. At least at the beginning of the word.
soyleche obviously decided to gird his loins before entering the fray
I like the cut of that gibbon’s jib
