The "Real McCoy" 

During the prohibition era, many people became ill or even were killed due to poisonous home-made alcoholic mixtures known as "hooch" or "shine" (short for moonshine). A rumrunner/bootlegger named McCoy had a good three year run using a ship to import genuine alcohol to the united states, and became famous for carrying only the highest quality liquors. His cargo became referred to as the "Real McCoy", and the term became a common way of inquireing as to the authenticity of liquor products, and is commonly used today to inquire as to the authenticity of just about anything. McCoy was intercepted and arrested by the U.S. Coast Guard in 1923.

Plain and incospicuous when sober, but give this guy a beer and he turns into the deepest most controversial cracker-barrel philosopher you'll ever meet. Holds unique opinions on all kinds of both modern everyday converstional topics aswell as obscure historic events dating back as far as the stoneages. He'll be more than happy to share all this unique knowledge with you and go into great detail as to why your own opinions on those topics are wrong. His voice thereby will increase in volume exponentially with the amount of alcohol you give him.
Jake: Dude, what's up with that shouting guy over there?
Tom: Beats me man. He was quiet until a minute ago, then he took a gulp of his beer and now he's ranting on about the Osman Empire and how the government faked climate change to blind the people.
Jake: Great, another McCoy.

Real McCoy 

Real deal.
Oilers on early trains had to be oiled to stop friction on the drive wheels. Oilers always failed... except the McCoy brand and they became known as the best and 'the real McCoy'
These appear to be the real McCoy.
