@SarahPalinUSA: Obama's Shuck and Jive Ends With Benghazi Lies http://t.co/mWpfynyY
"Shuckin' and jivin' (or shucking and jiving) is an American slang term for the behavior of joking and acting facetiously. The term can also refer to the speech and behavioral mechanisms adopted in the presence of an authoritative figure. Shuckin' and jivin' usually involves clever lies and impromptu storytelling, used to one-up an opponent or avoid punishment. Such behavior is believed to have originated in the era of slavery."
""To shuck and jive" originally referred to the intentionally misleading words and actions that African-Americans would employ in order to deceive racist Euro-Americans in power, both during the period of slavery and afterwards. The expression was documented as being in wide usage in the 1920s, but may have originated much earlier.
"Shucking and jiving" was a tactic of both survival and resistance. A slave, for instance, could say eagerly, "Oh, yes, Master," and have no real intention to obey. Or an African-American man could pretend to be working hard at a task he was ordered to do, but might put up this pretense only when under observation. Both would be instances of "doin' the old shuck 'n jive."
Today, the expression has expanded somewhat from earlier usage, and is now sometimes used to mean "talking pure baloney," "goofing off," or "goofing around." The original meaning of deceit often remains, however"
has she ever been tested for some sort of mental disability? judging by 99% of the things she comes out with i'd highly recommend she seeks medical attention of some kind.
looks she she saw Ann Coulter's retard comment, and decided to one up her.
Pretty much. They're only really succeeding in making themselves (and their complicit party) look like the biggest bunch of pressed bigots on the wrong side of history.
