The real McCoy

ðʌ ɹiæl məkɔ͡i


english

1 general:: Also, the McCoy. The genuine thing, as in That painting's not a reproduction? it's the real McCoy. This idiom has a disputed origin, but the most likely source is its use to distinguish welterweight champion "Kid McCoy," the name used by Norman Selby (1873-1940), from other boxers using his name to capitalize on his popularity. [c. 1900]
