Editing Shuckin' and jivin' (section)

==Origin==
According to the linguist [[Barbara Ann Kipfer]], the origins of the phrase may be traced to when "black slaves sang and shouted gleefully during corn-shucking season, and this behavior, along with lying and teasing, became a part of the protective and evasive behavior normally adopted toward white people."<ref>{{cite book |last1=Kipfer |first1=Barbara Ann |first2=Robert L. |last2=Chapman |author-link2=Robert L.

According to the 1994 book by [[Clarence Major]], ''Juba to Jive: A Dictionary of African-American Slang'', "shuck and jive" dates back to the 1870s and was an "originally southern 'Negro' expression for clowning, lying, pretense".<ref>{{cite book |last=Major |first=Clarence |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=5BsmAQAAMAAJ |title=Juba to Jive: A Dictionary of African-American Slang |publisher=Penguin Books |year=1994 |isbn=978-0-14-051306-6 }}</ref><ref name=PoliticalTicker>{{cite web |url=http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2008/01/11/martin-shucking-and-jiving-and-the-campaign-trail/ |first=Roland |last=Martin |title=Martin: 'Shucking and jiving' and the campaign trail |work=CNN |date=January 11, 2008 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080116230524/http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2008/01/11/martin-shucking-and-jiving-and-the-campaign-trail/ |access-date=29 October 2024 |archive-date=2008-01-16 }}</ref>
