It’s in the Urban Dictionary. Deal with it.
Good. Calls it like she sees it.
He shucks and jives like a Jewish comedian?
Sounds pretty accurate to me...
Would it be fair to say, he acted STUPIDLY, yo??? or even RETARDEDLY?
And she is wrong how?
if anything, some might see it as racial... but it’s definitely not racist... of course, it’s really neither...
ooooo......doesn’t Sarah know that such free political speech is no longer allowed by the PC police at the Washington Compost? (Can’t you just see her sly smile as she rattled their chain?)
Reading some of the comments, I am amazed at how ignorant liberals are.
Someone in the article claimed he had never heard the expression used with a white politican.
Let me help him:
From August 11:
Conservative State Senator Len Suzio accurately used it to describe the actions of the very white Gov. Malloy administration in CT.
The state papers tried to make an issue out of it. It didn’t go very far.
I guess that makes the Bee Gees racist
Shuck and Jive.
I’m pretty close to Caspar The Friendly Ghost in complexion, at least in the spring before getting any tan so I can speak on this as authentically WHITE enough to comment.
Living in the South, I have heard that term used in reference to WHITE people lying or cheating each other quite often. It’s almost part of my family lexicon, used to head off any line of bullsh*t a family member is attempting to spread.
Also as a sign the phrase wasn’t exclusively a slur against the brothers of color, it was used on that more Cracker than a Saltine television program The Dukes of Hazzard. It was referenced more than a few times by the Duke Boys, two sterling examples of Caucasiology, almost exclusively when they were planning to pull something over on Boss Hogg, again, a whiter than Charmin Extra Soft individual himself.
So “mr.” wemple, you see there’s more to this phrase than a racist attack on the poor oppressed men and women of color. And if you and your brother in arms mr. roland martin had one iota of honesty in your souls, you’d not be making up an issue out of whole cloth .
However, I certainly believe neither one of you has the integrity to miss out on an opportunity to attack and slur a woman you disagree with in the most hate filled and destructive way possible. It’s just your nature.
Here’s Wikipedia before it reacts:
Shuckin’ and jivin’ (or shucking and jiving) is an American slang term for the behavior of joking and acting facetiously. The term can also refer to the speech and behavioral mechanisms adopted in the presence of an authoritative figure.[1] Shuckin’ and jivin’ usually involves clever lies and impromptu storytelling, used to one-up an opponent or avoid punishment.[2] Such behavior is believed to have originated in the era of slavery.[2]
Shuckin’ and Jivin’: Folklore from Contemporary Black Americans (ISBN 0-253-20265-5) is the name of a book written by Daryl Cumber Dance in 1981. In 1972, the Johnny Lewis Quartet record a soul jazz LP called Shuckin’ ‘N Jivin’ .[3]
The term is also used in the Southern United States referring to deceit or mischief involving lies.[citation needed]
And she stole it from me! She starts callin’ him a colored boy and I’m really gonna get mad.
Naw, she’s anti-Semitic. She used the word “shtick” in the sentence. A vaudeville word used by Jewish comedians
I don’t think it was ‘Shuck and Jive’ .... I think it was probably ‘Snort and Crash’.
