juke verb (US 1930s) to dance in a boisterous fashion. It is theorized that the word, today only recognized in the formation JUKE BOX, was derived from the African Wolof, Banut, or Bambara languages. The term spread through southern blacks from the Gullah, and then into wider slang usage, although with a distinctly southern flavour: ‘Now the big black guy said something, grinning, and the whores laughed and started juking around, feeling something about to happen.’ Elmore Leonard, Switch, 1978.
