释义 moxie
noun
nerve, courage, gall US, 1930
Moxie was the first mass-marketed soft drink in the US. Founded in Lowell, Massachusetts in 1884 by Dr Augustin Thompson, Moxie was touted as a patent medicine guaranteed to cure almost any ill including loss of manhood, “paralysis, and softening of the brain”. These claims were revised with the passage of the Pure Food and Drug Act in 1906. Its sphere of influence was largely in New England.
