I would seriously like some help. I'm looking for a politically
correct word or term to describe the sort of stereotypical shucking
and jiving, like you would see in a classic Amos and Andy show.
Now, personally, I prefer something straight out and blunt. But,
you know how some people are. They're opposed to political
correctness until it's their ass that's being incorrect. They're
sensitive.
My googles skills have failed me. Take this for example:
https://www.thesaurus.com/browse/shucking%20and%20jive
There's a lot of stuff that's close there, but nothing that really
captures the whole idea. So, I might even settle for a word or a
phrase that's a little more polite, or something, even if it is
less descriptive.
Thanks, in advance.

From that great oracle aka Google:would argue over minor details in a fee.
To "pettifog" is, according to the Merriam-Webster dictionary, "to quibble over insignificant details" or "engage in legal chicanery". The verb was actually formed from the noun "pettifogger", which was used in the 16th Century to describe those who
I think "pettifoggery" has a pleasant ring to it and nicely describes most of what passes for discourse on RORT.

such as "cankerblossum" from Shakespeare could stir you imagination. It doesn't have the flavor of "lackwit" you're searching for, but you catch my drift.TBAh, we need the easy facility of coining new compound words afforded by the German language. I'm sure the exact word you seek can be found in a German dictionary or could be easily constructed by a native speaker. In the meantime, maybe a portmanteau

I think I have solved my problem. My main problem with the phrase "shuckin' and jivin'" *is* that it isn't politically correct. With our jive ass troll I don't give a shit because he's opposed to "political correctness". I don't think anyone has amonopoly on shucking and jiving. In this instance it's a apt description. But, if you take it that way, it can make it look like my problem with the idiot could be connected to the color of his skin. I'm making this much too difficult. I need to go to
