Oh. Well, “jive” s older than ebonics, and is still with us today...among certain sectors of the white population in the South...those that haven’t been assimilated, that is.

OK,that makes sense.
I think the last time I heard anyone black say”jive”was around the time the expression”jive turkey”was popular from the old Sanford and Son show.
These youngsters today change their slang rapidly.I don’t even try to keep abreast of it anymore.
