While Mad Dog was waiting for JJ to get dressed he made a comment that they had a nice “CRIB”…..LOL, I didn’t know that slang word was around then.

I also didn't know that-"You playin the Nut Role" was around back then either. That's what Mad Dog said to J.J

How far back does the term "Jive Turkey" go back?

I have no idea how long 'jive turkey' has been around but I'll bet it goes back pretty far. When you think about it the word 'boogie' has been in use every since jazz started! I also wonder though, is boogie short for boogaloo? ;)

Speaking about the term boogalo, a friend of mine was a good dancer and everyone started calling him Mr. Boogaloo-LOL


When i saw Boogalo i had to laugh.

The term "jive turkey" is, as far as I'm to ascertain, a marriage of two terms that was consummated in the late 1960s or early 1970s (see "Shaft", "Coffy", or any other "blaxplotation" film produced during this era for confirmation.)

The word "jive" itself, particularly its negative connotations, dates from the early part of the twentieth century (most likely the 1920s, and most likely coined by jazz musicians{possibly while toasted or hopped up on illegal bathtub hootch}, who, of course, influenced the slang among their young listeners.)..."turkey", of course, is in obvious reference to the intellectual capacity of your common Thanksgiving gobbler (them critters is notoriously stoopid!);)
