Jive, also known as the Jive Filter, is a novelty program that converts plain English to a comic dialect known as
jive--a parody of
African American speech. Some versions of the filter were adapted to parody other forms of English speech, such as
valspeak,
cockney,
geordie,
Pig Latin, and even
Swedish Chef. The latter form is sometimes known as the "Encheferator" or "Encheferizer". This family of programs became quite popular in the late 1980s.
