jived
Talked total nonsense
Jived is the past tense of jive, a word with several meanings.
Jive was a style of fast, energetic jazz and the swing dance that accompanied it: They jived all night at the dance hall.
In slang, jive means to tease, deceive, or talk nonsense: He jived me about the price.
To jive with something means to be in accord: That doesn't jive with what you said yesterday—though some insist this sense properly belongs to jibe.
