In the Missouri of today, “nothing jives”
The word is "jibe" (= "to be in accord with").
Regards,
I’m talking about “jive talking”, bro. Call me a Bee Gee if you want, but “nothing jives” means “nothing works (together)” or “Nothing makes senses”.
There is also “shucking and jiving” and I don’t mean oysters.
“Jib” is more nautical language as in “lower the jib”.
Now, “vibes” is a great word. “He’s got good vibes”. “This place has good vibes”. A musician has good vibes.
Nobody says he has good “jibes”.
Just playing around. English is a great language to create new meanings for old spellings.
