      I don't think that or 'jive turkey' are likely to get any pushback like using it to describe black people talking would. Context matters.

        Appreciate it. I have never heard of that word in any context other than what i mentioned, so it must not be oart of the local lexicon or it was before my time.

          If this doesn't ring a bell, it might be before your time.

          image from the movie airplane where an old whife lady offers to translate for teo blsck men by saying "I speak jive"

          (The scene was making fun of racist stereotypes.)

            It's an amazing scene, specially when it's June Cleaver as the woman speaking jive.

              Legend is June Cleaver helped write the lines for the man to say and coached him on the pronunciation.
