So, how can you be sure you're getting actual smoked salmon, rather than being jibbed off with smoked-flavoured salmon?

When his jiffy bag dropped through our postbox a week or so later, I ripped it open to discover that I'd been jibbed.

It began last year when investors jibbed at continuing to finance the pro-market but fiscally lax government of Mauricio Macri, prompting a run on the peso.

And although the constructive tone of Mrs May's letter was welcomed, many jibbed at her threat to link security and the fight against crime and terrorism to securing a trade deal.

Yes, the government jibbed at it, and yes, she knew from tedious visits with bearded elders that sometimes the boxes were just locked away, but every book that got through was progress.

Boland used this aircraft to contrast with the performance of his unorthodox tailless 'jibbed' biplane that he had completed the previous October. Boland flew this plane throughout the winter in the snowy fields of Mineola. The aircraft was designed for an axle and a pair of wheels, but they were never mounted. In the icy conditions, taking off and landing using just the skids was fine.

Charlotte was built in Sydney, Australia. and registered at 16 tons on 19 December 1803. Owned and skippered by Robert Inch and assisted by his hand, George Conway, the ship was north of Port Jackson, Australia, bound from the Hawkesbury River with a cargo of grain on 27 August 1808 when a squall struck her after her mainsail jibbed. The sloop Hope witnessed the sinking while sailing south of Charlotte.

Frank Boland was convinced that a traditional tail rudder and ailerons/wing warping was unnecessary to provide lateral control for an airplane. He started experimenting with different control mechanisms in 1908. More enthusiastic and daring than skilled engineer, Boland and Kimball spent 1910 experimenting with, crashing and rebuilding the Greene biplane while they worked out and refined what Boland called the 'jibbed' control. The resulting airplane was very easy to fly.

On November 15 of the same year, he took up a passenger for the first time. After a series of exhibition flights at Morris Park, he sold the plane to Wilbur R. Kimball. He took it to Rahway, New Jersey where he and Frank Boland took the tail off of it and began experimenting with a novel control system that eventually led to the first Boland Brothers 'jibbed' tailless biplane. During his flights at Morris Park in November, Dr. Greene set the world record for shortest take off at 30 ft.

The Steadicam was first used in the Best Picture–nominated Woody Guthrie biopic Bound for Glory (1976), debuting with a shot that compounded the Steadicam's innovation: cinematographer Haskell Wexler had Brown start the shot on a fully elevated platform crane which jibbed down, and when it reached the ground, Brown stepped off and walked the camera through the set. This technically audacious and previously impossible shot created considerable interest in how it had been accomplished, and impressed the Academy enough for Wexler to win the Oscar for Best Cinematography that year. It was then used in extensive running and chase scenes on the streets of New York City in Marathon Man (1976), which was released two months before Bound for Glory. It landed a notable third credit in Avildsen's Best Picture–winning Rocky in 1976, where it was an integral part of the film's Philadelphia street jogging/training sequences and the run up the Art Museum's flight of stairs, as well as the fight scenes where it can even be plainly seen in operation at the ringside during some wide shots of the final fight.
