Meaning of "jibing" in English

"Jibing" in English refers to making fun of someone in a mocking or joking manner, often aimed at ridiculing or deriding the person. It can also mean to tease or provoke someone with a playful intention. The term may also be used in the context of sailing, referring to a maneuver where the sail shifts across the stern, allowing the wind to change sides. The nature of these actions tends to be good-natured, though they can occasionally be perceived as rude or offensive depending on the intent and delivery.

Meaning of "jibe" in French

In French, "jibe" does not hold the same meaning as "jibing" in English. Instead, "jibe" is used in the context of sailing, derived from the English term, and means "empannage," referring to the sailing maneuver where the boom of a sailboat shifts from one side to another, typically performed when the boat is changing direction relative to the wind. The French language does not use "jibe" to refer to mocking or derisive behavior as in English.
