Best Answer

Phrase" Jump the Whale" In the movie "Advise and Consent" actor Peter Lawford uttered the phrase in this context: "do you think he jumped the whale by having this witness testify" It was unclear exactly what was meant by this and it may not be possible to understand what this phrase meant in the context. It appears from its use that it should be a phrase understood by the other characters in the movie, and maybe by the public viewing audience, circa, 1962.
