Wiki: A jibe or gybe is a sailing maneuver where a sailing vessel (which is sailing before the wind) turns its stern through the wind, such that the wind direction changes from one side of the boat to the other. For square-rigged ships, this is called wearing ship and involves bringing the ship before the wind with braces carefully controlling the sails. In this maneuver, the mainsail will cross the center of the boat while the jib is pulled to the other side of the boat.
Example: We've been ordered to Ambléve,
but the maps don't jibe with the signs.|This doesn't jibe with my figures.|No, Loxi, you'll jibe her!|And if your story doesn't jibe,
he's gonna keep breaking your
fuckin' fingers, you got me?|It's so easy
for somebody like you to jibe, for sure|Jibe ho!|Our politics may not jibe, young man,
but I like your manners.|Ready to jibe!
