>From Jive description at wikipedia:

*Jive, also known as the Jive Filter, is a novelty computer program that
*converts plain English to a comic dialect known as "jive", a parody of
*African American Vernacular English. Some versions of the filter were
*adapted to parody other forms of English speech, such as valspeak,
*cockney, geordie, Pig Latin, and even the Swedish Chef. The latter form
*is sometimes known as the "Encheferator" or "Encheferizer". This family
*of programs became quite popular in the late 1980s.

So it's a parody of multiple english speechs. Also, mark it as
offensive is subjective opinion. Perhaps who made the change could
explain better.
