Moxie. Is that how you spell it?

They say it a lot in old movies, as in: "The kid's got moxie".

I don't give a damn what the word means, if someone comes up to me and says "You're very niggardly with your money, aren't you?" a million bucks he gets wheeled away on a stretcher. lol

Well sure, no one wants to be called stingy!

I agree it might be kinda stupid to use a word that could be interpreted that way, but not sure it warrents being fired

Emeril still used "ICEBOX" for refridgerator...WTF? I know he's only in his late 40's/early 50's...
Thanks for the laughs, arguments and overall enjoyment for the last umpteen years. It's time for me to retire from Prince.org and engage in the real world...lol. Above all, I appreciated the talent Prince. You were one of a kind.
