Is the phrase “shuck and jive” inherently racist?
I’ve been using it in terms of pitching projects…
“Gotta go do the shuck and jive for these people.”
And thinking of in terms of “the ol’ song and dance”. But urban dictionary says it has a racist connotation. I mean, that’s what I get for listening to urban dictionary. But still…is it?

We usually say “dog and pony show.” I think if you are worried about it, cross it off your list of things you say.
