I have no fucking idea how people find the knuckle or finger thing useful but ironically it can never remember what 'index finger' is and have to go through a process of elimination is because I know where a ring is worn and I know what a middle is.

The index finger (also referred to as forefinger, first finger, pointer finger, trigger finger, digitus secundus, digitus II, and many other terms) is the second finger of a human hand.
Wikipedia comes good again. DIGITUS II it is for me from now on.

Wasn't until a month or so ago that it dawned on me that the Lincoln Project was not an organization of gay GOP members.
That group, of course, are known as Log Cabin Republicans.

That it's one idea jibes with another, it doesn't jive. Though I think I sometimes say 'chimes with' anyway.

Garbled sentence, sorry. That jibes with my general state of mind.

I feel like I've seen "jives with" used in real publications in recent years. Has it somehow become acceptable?

outbreak! (ebola, sars, coronavirus, etc)

About jives with, rather
Feel quite strongly that "jive" is currently more correct and "jibe" should be reserved for taunts but I have nothing - and I mean literally, in the actual, correct sense of that word - literally nothing to substantiate that prejudice.
― Li'l Brexit (Tracer Hand), Wednesday, 28 October 2020 21:38 (three years ago) link
Well that is because you are incorrect, so
― Dan I., Thursday, 29 October 2020 00:44 (three years ago) link
jive = swingin, jazz, talkin - things working and moving together
jibe = taunting, friction, teasing - things rubbing at cross purposes

ugh, wait, the "correct" definition is from some sailing shit. I changed my mind, I'm on your side

That reminds me: twice lately I've heard a speaker (probably on a podcast) say "a different tact"--people who are normally very carefully spoken and accurate. Is this usage now somehow acceptable?
― Ima Gardener (in orbit), Thursday, 29 October 2020 13:54 (three years ago) link
No, that's as bad as "duct tape"
― Alba, Thursday, 29 October 2020 13:55 (three years ago) link
Like in the sense of a form of "tactic" which is probably contributing to the confusion.
xp oh thank goodness.

also...lol?
― Ima Gardener (in orbit), Thursday, 29 October 2020 13:58 (three years ago) link
I knew the sailing term and had vaguely understood that to be the buried metaphor in "jibes with."
But if someone in my professional orbit were to write "jives with," I would understand it and not get all prescriptive on their ass.
Just to mess with y'all, though, you will often see it spelled gybe or, just for funsies, gibe.
