hand jive

a dance found in the movie and broadway musical Grease. Don't ask me how to do it.

I could barely walk when I milked a cow, when I was three I pushed a plow, while chopping wood I moved my legs, and I started dancing when I gathered eggs. The whole time laughed, I was only five, I danced and gave birth to the hand jive!

teach me to jive, grasshopper

Asking someone to "teach me to jive, grasshopper" is actually code for "rip off my panties, put them on my head, suck my titays, and then roger me to exhaustion".

A very popular thing to say at parties.

When Binky heard Simone say the magic words, "teach me to jive, grasshopper", he knew it was going to be a good evening.

shuck and jive

To shuck and jive" originally referred to the intentionally misleading words and actions that African-Americans would employ in order to deceive racist Euro-Americans in power, both during the period of slavery and afterwards. The expression was documented as being in wide usage in the 1920s, but may have originated much earlier.

"Shucking and jiving" was a tactic of both survival and resistance. A slave, for instance, could say eagerly, "Oh, yes, Master," and have no real intention to obey. Or an African-American man could pretend to be working hard at a task he was ordered to do, but might put up this pretense only when under observation. Both would be instances of "doin' the old shuck 'n jive."

It has been adopted into non-Afroamerican speech, with a reference to behavior adopted in order to avoid criticism.

In order to keep my job, I had to do the shuck and jive!
