-shuckin'/jive :
to shuck (v.) lett."rimuovere le bucce" ( 1819 )
correlato a shuck (n.), shucked; shucker; shucking.
Jive (n.) :"discorso vuoto e fuorviante;"
Molte estensioni di senso gergali negli Stati Uniti derivano dalla nozione di "spogliare" un chicco di mais, o dalle capriole associate alle feste di sgranatura; come ad esempio "spogliarsi dei vestiti" (1848) e "ingannare, truffare, imbrogliare" (1959). La frase "shucking and jiving" che corrisponde a "fooling, deceiving" è suggerita dal 1966, nel vernacolo afroamericano, ma shuck (v.) nel gergo di "musicisti cool" sta per "improvvisare accordi, specialmente su un pezzo di musica che non si conosce" (1957), e shuck (n.) è un termine che significa "un furto o una truffa," in uso dagli anni '50 nel vernacolo afroamericano.
