- erikpukinskis 9y agoIt's common. Whether it's acceptable... I don't know. I think most people imagine it has something to do with dancing together, congruently, to "the jive" which doesn't really make any sense if you think about it very long. Maybe I can just chalk it up to a compression error in the dictionary though. Perhaps fewer words is better.
- mythrwy 9y agoI always took it to mean something like "communicating effectively". As in, using the same jive.
