Often confused with psychobilly, a long dead (regardless of what some Tiger Army kiddies will tell you) British offshoot of rockabilly and trash.
Punkabilly is more of a good time, rockin' sound, sometimes with some elements of swing or jazz thrown in.

Get the trifficmug. 1) Jazz slang from the 1930s and 40s. The language of swing.
Cab Calloway produced some "hepster dictionaries" in the form of free booklets given away with his recordings of the time.
2)A partner dance from the 1950s based upon a 6-count pattern. A rather simplistic descendent of the more complex and exciting Lindy Hop. Danced to rockabilly, early rhythm 'n' blues, rock 'n' roll and sometimes swing, although Lindy is the preferred dance.

1) first chap~ Get off the fence Hortense! Dig those real gone gates! They totally send me!
second chap~ Sir, are you talking jive to me?
2)I'm knackered, I was jiving all night at the club. The Lindy Hoppers weren't too impressed though as they didn't play much swing.

Get the jivemug. Shortening of 'seamed stockings', vintage or reproduction nylon or sometimes silk hosiery with a seam going up the back of the leg from under the toes to the stocking top, or welt. The stockings should be shaped to the leg (fully-fashioned) and are sewn up the back, hence the seam. Modern seams are often purely aesthetic and are not neccessary to the construction of the stocking.
