I spoke with a midwestern Jew who also had never heard it.

This recovering Catholic in Texas had never heard it either.

Drama queen! Way to always spark up controversy on the boards. Thank God, because they've been sort of quiet these days. How will Fringe respond?!

Well, at least now I'm understanding why no one called her on it.

I didn't really read her post and thought she butchered "moxie."

Anyone know the etymology for the word, "mockie?" Paigow?

As the one to whom the Mockie post was directed, in future I'd prefer "one of the five jew bankers," or perhaps "one of them jew fellers running (ha!) Hollywood."

I'd never heard Mockie either, but that brings up a good subject. Any expressions you learned of late in life? My wife confessed that she'd never heard "Belly up to the bar" until last month. She claims, however, that "All aboard who's coming aboard" is a common phrase, but I'd never heard that until she used it.

I confidentially PMed her to say that no, I did not forward her slutty IMs to SS. They probably would have caused spontaneous combustion on his part, and who wants bits of partially-burned, partially-raw lizard flying around town?

Anyway, RP, as I keep telling you, I don't want to be involved with any vagina other than my own. I know this crushes you, but I don't know how to get you to stop begging. Perhaps I can once again point out that oral sex from someone who doesn't enjoy giving oral sex is inevitably bad.

If you are going to paraphrase so irresponsibly, I would prefer you simply cut and paste the IM exchange.

(ETA it should be obvious that this is fringey and I are not engaging in one those gratuitous "we IM with the cool crowd off board" post exchanges; rather, we are simply bored, and trying to get the topic back to sex, or disgust many of you.)

I'm sort of surprised no one knew it (besides PP, I guess.) I've run into it in some older literature - definitely haven't seen it used in recent years, ecxept in some Andrew Dice Clay monologues (always a great recommendation.) It's right up there with "kike". Oh, and it's alternately spelled "mockey".

"All aboard who're coming aboard!" is common, at least around here. It's what the train conductors always say in the old movies. They probably said it in French in the flashback scence in "Casablanca" where Rick is waiting for Ilsa at the station in the rain as the Germans are about to capture Paris.

The printout is at home, smeared with lube and stuff.

ETA "and stuff" and to concur with rp's comment re: coolness. Really, being on the computer IMing late at night is not a sign of coolness. It's a sign of the fuckees being unavailable.

Printing out was smart. That stuff can really mess up a laptop. Or so I hear.

You're telling me! It seems to be a keyboard issue.

My friend says via email that it is from the Yiddish "makeh", which is pronounced "mockie". It means a plague or a curse.

Ha. Clay played that bigoted, sexist-Italian stereotype up for all it was worth. Then, his fan base found out that he was actually a jew and he couldn't perform live in New York without being completely torn apart. I think at one point, he was scared for his life.*

*Total exaggeration.

Perhaps the hate speech code banned it at Yale, which prevented you from ever hearing it.

Perhaps Str8's wife learned "all aboard who's coming aboard" thing at Antioch College.

(See, Antioch had a much-ballyhooed and much-mocked dating code requiring potential lov-ahs to obtain express permission from their partners before, ahem, elevating the level of sexual intimacy.)
