Is there a source for this? Like, it jives with my mental model of the guy, but it would be nice to have a source.
the company paid
Ah, greedy cheapskate as usual.
Well clearly it was a business expense!
Psst, it’s “jibes” not “jives.”
I’ve only ever heard it called jive
It's a very common mistake, one I used to make myself. But I can assure you it's jibe.
If everyone I’ve ever heard use the word thinks it’s jive, at what point does that become correct? Isn’t that how language works?
It becomes the accepted meaning after a formal dictionary adds it. To my knowledge, no dictionary added this meaning yet.
