Just want to point out that Barbara Billingsley speaks jive, too:
(Salient part begins at 0:58 or so. Oh, and don't have the fish.)

I think "jive-turkey" is about the same level of insult as "your moma wears army boots."

However, I am pretty sure Llyorn Of Jaensch can defend himself without involking the code-of-conduct.

I found this explanation in the Urban Dictionary. George Jefferson and Homer Simpson apparently used it.
Jive Turkey was a derogatory slang word in African American Vernacular English (Ebonics), used to refer to someone who was unreliable, made empty promises, or who was full of bluster. Several funk groups in the late 1960s and 1970s used the term, particularly the Ohio Players in songs such as "Jive Turkey" on the album Skin Tight from 1974. The insult became widely known in the 1980s, particularly via television comedies (e.g., The Jeffersons). The term has been used by later television characters (e.g., Homer Simpson) in order to demonstrate that they are out of touch with modern youth trends, culture, and language. The term was also used in the film Semi-Pro starring Will Ferrell and in Weird Science starring Kelly LeBrock 1985. "Jive turkey" also garnered attention in the movie Trading Places. Jive turkey, however, was already falling into disuse when it was spoken by "hip" television characters in the 1970s, such as George Jefferson. Jive turkey is also a quick step dance in Germany in the 1930s.

Wow. A poster with a non Illy name, sanctimoniously using spelling correction to further their point.
I thought sarcasm was the lowest form of wit.
But of coarse Juswin knows this. Don't cha?

If you cared to read the first post, you should have known how to, you know, connect the dots, as to who I am. Or something like that. Jeez. |
Which means absolutely nothing since you know, forum accounts aren't linked to game accounts. Jive talkin turkey... and today's thanksgiving... turkey day...

I apologize to y'all for not checking the map first to see if the siege against jonazz07 was removed before putting up any posts. I suffer from information overload in this game.

Okay, thanks, EF for clearing this up. I will send you an IGM if I take any other actions to help fellow Druids or if I get attacked myself by members of TLR.
