Shuckin' and jivin'
Shuckin' and jivin' (or shucking and jiving) is a slang term for the behavior of joking and acting evasively. More generally, the term can also refer to the speech and behavioral mechanisms adopted in the presence of an authoritative figure.〔Linn, Michael D. "Black Rhetorical Patterns and the Teaching of Composition". ''College Composition and Communication''. Vol. 26, No. 2. (May 1975). p. 150〕 Shuckin' and jivin' usually involves clever lies and impromptu storytelling, used to one-up an opponent or avoid punishment. In ''Ribbin', Jivin', and Playin' the Dozens: The Persistent Dilemma in Our Schools'', Herbert L. Foster writes, "Shuckin' and jivin' is a verbal and physical technique some blacks use to avoid difficulty, to accommodate some authority figure, and in the extreme, to save a life or to save oneself from being beaten physically or psychologically."〔http://www.thewire.com/politics/2012/10/was-it-racist-palin-accuse-obama-shucking-and-jiving/58317/〕
==Origin==
According to the linguist Barbara Ann Kipfer, the origins of the phrase may be traced to when "black slaves sang and shouted gleefully during corn-shucking season, and this behavior, along with lying and teasing, became a part of the protective and evasive behavior normally adopted toward white people."
According to the 1994 book by Clarence Major, ''Juba to Jive, a Dictionary of African-American Slang,'' "shuck and jive" dates back to the 1870s and was an "originally southern ‘Negro’ expression for clowning, lying, pretense."〔(Juba to jive: a dictionary of African-American slang – Clarence Major – Google Boeken )〕〔(Martin: 'Shucking and jiving' and the campaign trail )〕
