Jibe or jive; it's confusing. Use this handy guide and never worry about it again!
</p>
<div id="jibe">
<h2>Jibe</h2>
<p>
<ol>
<li>To be in accord, to agree.
</ol>
</p>
<p>
Examples:
<ul>
<li>The facts don't jibe with his conclusion
<li>Her opinion jibes with how I think it works too
</ul>
</p>
</div>
<div id="jive">
<h2>Jive</h2>
<p>
<ol>
<li>Swing music or swing dance
<li>The jargon of hipsters
</ol>
</p>
<p>
Examples:
<ul>
<li>Grandma and grandpa still listen to jive
<li>I'm tired of listening to your jive talk
<li><a href="/jive.gif">Look at that jive-ass kid do the jive</a>
</ul>
</p>
</div>
<p style="clear:both;">
So, if you want to emphasize that two things agree or compliment each other, you want to use <strong>jibe</strong>. If you're talking dance or some killer swing music, you probably want <strong>jive</strong>... or dubstep, whatever, I'm not here to judge.
