jive zeek billiken

A person who talks a lot of jive nonsense that's couched in mystery. Someone who never answers a question in a straightforward manner, but rather shucks and jives around a whole bunch of confusing stuff, as if he's really intelligent. When analyzed closely, it's pretty much a given that the jive zeek billiken is totally full of shit, and doesn't really have much knowledge of anything that's factual.

The Billiken is a charm doll created by an American art teacher and illustrator, Florence Pretz. It became somewhat of a fad in the early 1900s. It was supposed to have certain powers, and was later picked up as a mascot at some colleges in the US. It fell out of favor and mostly disappeared years later. It was an ugly little doll with pointed ears and straight legs, sitting sort of like a Buddha. It also appears as a charm of sorts, worn on the wrist or around the neck.

The phrase, jive zeek billiken was popularized by the black community on Long Island in the 1960s.
Example 1:

Person A: Wow, this inflation is killing me.

JZB: Well, when the man bought Alaska, and forced the Indians to move back to Chicago, y'all knew this was gonna happen, bro. We shoulda consolidated instead.

Person A: WHAT?!? What the hell are you talking about? Why you talkin' all that jive zeek billiken-ass bull shit to meeeee? You don't know what the fuck you're talking about. man.

Example 2:

Person A: Does that guy know what he's talking about? He sure talks a good game.

Person B. Nah. He's mostly a jive zeek billiken. You can't take him seriously.
