A word that would be better
suited to being on the 'oldtimey-dictionary.com' website. If you are told that you have moxy it means one of
three things:
1.) What the Hollywood world today calls 'it.'
2.) You have an great amount of courage or
bravery to do what you want do to.
3.) You have Herpes (which was originally called Moxygoshthisitchesherpes but was shortened to just Herpes in the mid-60's)
1.) You, my good boy, have moxy and with your dancing
monkies you will soon be the toast of Vaudville!!
2.)
Barnabus must have a great deal of moxy to just whip it out in front of his girlfriends parents like that.
3.)
Sheryl is disgusting...I think she gave me moxy.
