my mother (59, white, from the Bronx) always makes comments about "speaking jive". I love her but she's an idiot.

It's the antiquated term for what is now known as "Ebonics". That being said, there is a huge difference between excessive use of slang and being functionally illiterate.

Oh, I'm aware. It's just so cringe-worthy when a white person says something stupid and claims they were "speaking jive". Ugh

Almost as cringe worthy as the English language being butchered, liked Loresha on Tinder :)

Just FYI, im not taking any shots at you. I'm taking shots at my mother because she says it completely serious.

FTR, I didn't downvote you. That being said, whether its called jive or ebonics, I believe she's is just using the term she knows. My grandmother called black people "Colored", but not in a disparaging way - its just the term her generation used.
