Mad Dog and his vocabulary...lol
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 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?

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!)
