Jibe (v)

Jibe - To be in accord; agree

There are other meanings of this word, but they are not the reason for the post.

I've always thought that "something doesn't jive" not that something doesn't "jibe"! How strange. Sure enough, when you look up the definition for "jive", it's all about jazzing & stuff like that, which I can see how "jazzing" might allude to "being in accord" with something.

But, alas, no. It appears that what I always thought about the word "jive" doesn't jibe with what I now know about the word "jibe"!
