It. Is an American saying.

I know that it means you like someone.

I always wondered what a jib was or the sayings origin.

Thought you could help.

McMorisson, I've looked upon that definition, and it has something to do with nautical stuff. I've read that a jib is a sail on the bow of a ship, and people used to judge a ship by its jib.

Hope it helps a bit. BTW, thanks for the compliment. ;)

Sarcasm intended. Real meaning:

WP is becoming a cesspool, no thanks to its "Eternal President" Alex Plank and the minions of the "God Hates Fags" Church for autistics that is Autism Speaks.

A little more info:  I like the cut of your jib used to characterise the way a person looks, sailors would recognise the nationality of other ships by the shape of the triangular forsesail (or Jib).
