a far classier version of "i like your style", originally used by pirates in the 17th century the expression refers to the forward sail on most ships. The course and speed of a ship is determined by the cut of the ships jib so saying that you like the cut of someones jib is a way of saying, i like the way you're heading.
Original 17th Century Pirate context:
A - I think we should mutiny, Yarr!
B - I like the cut of your jib (jim lad optional)!!!
21st Century context:
A - lets go for a beer and some readily available cannabis
B - alright, i like the cut of your jib
A - I think we should mutiny, Yarr!
B - I like the cut of your jib (jim lad optional)!!!
21st Century context:
A - lets go for a beer and some readily available cannabis
B - alright, i like the cut of your jib

Get the I like the cut of your Jibmug. In the early 1700's the cut of the jib sail, often signified the nationality of a vessel. The term was being used figureatively by the 1800's to express like, or dislike for someone. So, the 'Cut of one's jib' refers to their general appearance of personality.

Get the Jibbed Outmug. 
Get the Jib Gigmug. When a person smokes methamphetamine non stop to the point where they will do anything for more. Usually they end up on the streets doing sexual acts for another hit. Most times these people have no friends and the only people that hang around them is to use them for drugs. A Jib king is the lowest form of life next to a cockroach.
That Jib King was such a waste of skin he let his methamphetamine dealer shit in his mouth for a hit.
