cut of his jib

A perfectly adequate reason for not liking someone without actually having to give a reason. Must be said in a posh accent for full effect.

Pulling a Jib

A form of smoking weed that uses a water bottle. The water bottle is empty with a small hole in the bottom sitting in a shaker cup of cup do water. You put a ratchet in the top where the cap screws on the the bottle. When you light the weed on the top that’s in the ratchet it heats the water that has filled the bottle. As you pull the bottle out slowly, the bottle fills with steam that you then inhale. This gives a great high even though it takes more time to set up.

“Yeah everyone was pulling a Jib at Jason’s party last night.”
