The most authoritative world wide source on Jive is the scene which
Barbara Billingsley, of "Leave it to Beaver" fame, in the movie
"Airplane" helps out the flight attendant. Here's a snippet just
off the top of my head:
Randy : Can I get you something?
Second Jive Dude : 'S'mofo butter layin' me to da' BONE! Jackin' me
up... tight me!
Randy : I'm sorry, I don't understand.
First Jive Dude : Cutty say 'e can't HANG!
Jive Lady : Oh stewardess! I speak jive.
Randy : Oh, good.
Jive Lady : He said that he's in great pain and he wants to know if
you can help him.
Randy : All right. Would you tell him to just relax and I'll be
back as soon as I can with some medicine?
Jive Lady : Jus' hang loose, blood. She gonna catch ya up on da'
rebound on da' med side.
Second Jive Dude : What it is, big mama? My mama no raise no
dummies. I dug her rap!
Jive Lady : Cut me some slack, Jack! Chump don' want no help, chump
don't GET da' help!
First Jive Dude : Say 'e can't hang, say seven up!
Jive Lady : Jive dude don't got no brains anyhow! Hmmph!
Note the thinly veiled reference to the substance of the gEDA
documentation and the overt reference to the missing symbol for two
common 8051 variants.
hang loose blood,
