andros_rex@lemmy.world 17 hours ago“Jive” is an older term for what you might call less offensively call Ebonics or AAVE. Popular in the 80’s, I remember my mom talking about having a computer program that would “translate” things into jive.
“Jigaboo” is a slur for a black person.

I remember the scene you referenced, and i recall that i hadn’t understood the jive reference then and i just assumed that it was just funny gibberish.
