Self possessed confidence. An attitude of fearlessness in everyday circumstances. The capacity to stand alone in favor of an unpopular opinion or course of action with a casual demeanor. The word fell out of usage as the character traits it represented both became less common and came to be viewed as unfavorable in others.
Once on the board of directors, Bob was demoted to a position in the mailroom for his moxy in handling the ethics investigation of the CEO.

Moxi is the greatest person you could ever meet. She'll come to you with her problems and whatnot but that was never a big deal. Moxi will watch Miraculous Ladybug with you for hours on end and no matter what she always has a new joke to crack. She loves rambling about her favorite shows and movies for hours and hours till she falls asleep. She thinks it annoys you but little does she know you enjoy listening to her ramble as much as she enjoys rambling. Moxi is the best at art and turning a sob into a laugh. She doesn't think she's good at comforting people but in reality she makes you feel better just by being there. She can make someone laugh without even trying. Moxi is gorgeous. She's the prettiest girl you'll ever meet. She thinks she doesn't belong sometimes because of the way she dresses or the way she acts or the way she carries herself. Really, you think there isn't one place that she *doesn't* belong. Moxi is the one person you hope to never fall out with. She's the one person you'd like to hold onto till you both die. You love Moxi more than anything in this whole world. She's your sister from another mister. Ever her family thinks so. Sure most people might think that you two are in a relationship because of how close you to are but it doesn't bother you two that much. You love Moxi, and Moxi loves you

A hotter version of the restaurant featured in 'Waiting', albeit with the same sexy shenanigans. The Sodom and Gomorrha of the service industry. the staff is made up largely of sirens and succubi. Once you walk into the bar and grill of hotness, you will not be able to sit across from your significant other and actually finish your food. A long and lengthy period of mutual bitterness and infidelity will result, with both of you needing someone else but being too cowardly to leave the other. Finally she'll blow up at you one day and go back to live with her parents, leaving you to take care of "Stiffler", that miniature pot-bellied pig you both named after making out in American Pies 1, 2, and Wedding. You'll go back to reading Green Lantern comics and similarly pursue a self-destructive streak, until you're found dead in the back of a sushi-bar in Buenos Aires with pigeons pecking MDMA pills out of your cold, lifeless hands.

1.Courage, balls, intestinal fortitude.
2. Failed soft drink of the 1930s that tasted like shit. You had moxy because it took courage to drink the stuff. Its downfall came when soda jerks were able to mix the shit motor oil taste indisriminately.

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.
