But damn sometimes I spend more time searching for definitions to understand it than it actually takes to read it

Jive was the same way.

But do you speak jive?

I don't speak it, but considering this scene from Airplane (1980) ( on YouTube ) I understood the whole conversation.

Of course this is Hollywood jive, and like other languages, it's subject to regional vernacular variance which might be beyond me.
