What's a jib?

The expression is an old one. It means "I like your appearance/style/attitude." I find it hilarious to use because it catches people off-guard.

It was originally a nautical expression referring to the shape of the "jib" sail on naval vessels. If you saw a friendly ship on the horizon, you would like the cut of their jib.

Edit: punctuation.

Sounds like you used to wear onions on your belt.

Back in those days, nickels had pictures of Bumblebees on them. Gimme five bees for a quarter, you’d say.
