I like the cut of your Jib
a far cl-ssier version of “i like your style”, originally used by pirates in the 17th century the expression refers to the forward sail on most ships. the course and speed of a ship is determined by the cut of the ships jib so saying that you like the cut of someones jib is a way of saying, i like the way you’re heading.
original 17th century pirate context:
a – i think we should mutiny, yarr!
b – i like the cut of your jib (jim lad optional)!!!
21st century context:
a – lets go for a beer and some readily available cannabis
