jigs
Spirited folk dances
Jigs are lively folk dances, typically in compound time, or the music that accompanies them—associated especially with Irish and Scottish traditions.
A jig is also a device that holds work in place or guides a tool: a drill jig, a router jig.
The verb means to dance a jig or to move with quick, jerky motions.
To jig something up is to rig or improvise it.
The game is up was once the jig is up—the ruse is over.
