Old school 70's term to say a "cool cat." Usually originates from the African American lingo or people but does not matter. Cool way to say hello also. Also adds in a good "pointless word" for comedy/humor between friends.
Mario: Hey Turkeys
James: Sup man?
-Or-
Matt: Yo roo, whats up?
Ruben: Whats up?
Matt: Nothing, man. Lets go swimming.
Ruben: *nods head* Jiive turkey! *jumps in*
