A person who talks a lot of jive nonsense that's couched in mystery. Someone who never answers a question in a straightforward manner, but rather shucks and jives around a whole bunch of confusing stuff, as if he's really intelligent. When analyzed closely, it's pretty much a given that the jive zeek billiken is totally full of shit, and doesn't really have much knowledge of anything that's factual.
The Billiken is a charm doll created by an American art teacher and illustrator, Florence Pretz. It became somewhat of a fad in the early 1900s. It was supposed to have certain powers, and was later picked up as a mascot at some colleges in the US. It fell out of favor and mostly disappeared years later. It was an ugly little doll with pointed ears and straight legs, sitting sort of like a Buddha. It also appears as a charm of sorts, worn on the wrist or around the neck.
The phrase, jive zeek billiken was popularized by the black community on Long Island in the 1960s.

Example 1:
Person A: Wow, this inflation is killing me.
JZB: Well, when the man bought Alaska, and forced the Indians to move back to Chicago, y'all knew this was gonna happen, bro. We shoulda consolidated instead.

Example 2:
Person A: Does that guy know what he's talking about? He sure talks a good game.
Person B. Nah. He's mostly a jive zeek billiken. You can't take him seriously.

Have you ever muted the TV during the commercials, only to unleash your wife's blabbering about some subject you couldn't care less about? I mean, commercials are annoying, but your wife puts them to shame. Well, you can't tell your wife to shut up, we all know how that ends, but what you can do is "reverse-mute" her.
The way the reverse-mute works is, just as your wife starts to really unload on the blabber, you un-mute the TV and jack up the volume to a level she can't compete with. In effect, you are silencing her because she can't compete with the loud TV.
As soon as she realizes the TV is too loud to compete with, she'll shut the hell up. At that point you mute the TV again and once again you have silence.

An annoying commercial had just kicked in on the TV, so I muted it. My wife took this as a license to tell me about some stupid movie she watched last night. Blah, blah, blah blah. On and on about the movie. Finally, I had enough, so I resorted to the reverse-mute at full volume. Not being able to compete, she finally shut up and we had peace and harmony again.

Zoomergency: That moment in time, usually approximately five minutes before your meeting, that you realize you have a Zoom meeting and you're still in your pajamas and have bed head.
YIKES, Zoomergency!! I have a Zoom meeting with my boss, Miriam, in five minutes and my hair is a mess.
What's wrong with Mariam, she just ran out of here like a maniac. She was salty. It must be a Zoomergency, did you see her hair?
I just got back from a Zoomergency. I forgot all about my 9am meeting with Smexy.

The process of putting a leftist slant on a conservative, moderate, or even factual story. If a story in the news works against the leftist power structure, some "news" entity will edit the story through the lens of leftification.
All so-called "fact-checkers" are really Leftification Outlets. Facebook recently had to admit their fact-checkers were really opinion writers, i.e., leftification artists.

The Democrat media was quick to apply leftification tactics to the Kyle Rittenhouse story. One such story was that he "crossed state lines with a gun to go shootemup in Kenosha. He did no such thing. The gun was already being stored, legally, in Kenosha.
Fact-checkers gave away the game when they started fact-checking President Trump's jokes. There was obvious leftification of anything that Trump said.
Google's search results are loaded with leftification sites.
Zoom meetings tend to devolve into zoomnonsense when the leftification starts.

A Zoom Meeting that is so bad, so embarrassing, that it can only be described as catastrophically bad. It almost always involves a number of people acting overly self-important in ways that are cringe worthy. You're first thought upon seeing them making fools of themselves is that they can't possibly know they're being seen by the public. But then you remember it's a Zoom meeting, and the whole purpose is as a public meeting.
The Golden Globes was a zoomtastrophe. I was never so embarrassed for a person in my life, as I was that night. That was way beyond zoomnonsense.

Those bloody Ivankers are at it again. Where were they when Chelsea Clinton was in charge of money for charities?

Zoomnonsense: A Zoom meeting with 10 or more participants where all or most of them have no idea what the purpose of the meeting is, or if they do know what the purpose is, they think it's a ridiculous waste of time. At Zoomnonsense meetings you usually see a lot of the participants suddenly bending out of the image frame. Many have the sound on mute so that nobody at the meeting hears them talking to people in their house.
Zoomnonesense meetings frequently end in breakout groups where people mysteriously disappear, never to be seen again at the meeting.

I can't believe Sue and Stephanie were doing a sorority squat during their Zoom meeting. It must have been Zoomnonsense, so probably nobody cared.
Damn, there's supposed to be 20 people at this Zoom meeting and I only see six in their image frames. It must be zoomnonsense.
