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.

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.

jive = swingin, jazz, talkin - things working and moving together
jibe = taunting, friction, teasing - things rubbing at cross purposes

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.

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.

I got a lot of "things you were shockingly old when you learned" mileage from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duct_tape
my controversial opinion is that "duct tape" is the best name for the modern product, including the "Duck Tape" brand, but I'm biased by my experiences taping ducts

During World War II, Revolite (then a division of Johnson & Johnson) developed an adhesive tape made from a rubber-based adhesive applied to a durable duck cloth backing. ... "Duck tape" is recorded in the Oxford English Dictionary as having been in use since 1899;[2] "duct tape" (described conservatively as "perhaps an alteration of earlier duck tape") since 1965.

Yeah it was originally duck from duck canvas. (Duck because waterproof, like a duck's back.)
Many have observed that it is not good for the taping of air ducts (because it is prone to drying out and falling off).
― Anaïs Ninja (Ye Mad Puffin), Thursday, 29 October 2020 15:19 (three years ago) link
In reading about duct tape, I just learned that the same guy (Richard Gurley Drew) invented both masking tape and Scotch tape.
Also:
The first tape had adhesive along its edges but not in the middle. In its first trial run, it fell off the car and the frustrated auto painter growled at Drew, "take this tape back to those Scotch bosses of yours and tell them to put more adhesive on it!"[3] (By "Scotch," he meant "cheap".) The nickname stuck, both to Drew's improved masking tape, and to his 1930 invention, Scotch Brand cellulose tape.

There's a French word now, 'scotcher', which means to stick to something, and has also somehow come to mean 'to stun' or 'surprise', so you hear it ironically, when somebody says something obvious: 'je suis scotché' - i.e. 'oh really? you're blowin my mind over here'
― Li'l Brexit (Tracer Hand), Thursday, 29 October 2020 15:58 (three years ago) link
when I used to be a sparkie a "scotcher" was a private rewire or install or whatever that was usually cash in hand and done outside of work hours, at the weekend usually.
