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 I don't like the cut of your Jibmug. Most snowboarders hate bumpy mogul terrain, but for those who enjoy freestyle and park riding, fields of bumpy moguls can be used to jib tricks continuously. Thus a jib buffet.

Get the jib buffetmug. Jib is known as a wanker. he has a tiny penis but makes bold claims. He is very hypocritical and is a dick. He usually also devotes his life to video games. People pretend to like him because he is usually short and very sensitive but they all think he is a real dick
