Re: Mojo ...?

Will somebody kindly put me out of my misery?
I am suffering deep distress, I cannot sleep peacefully.......because I don't know what a "mojo" is.
I looked it up on the internet and I read that there were 50 (yes fifty) definitions. 50 definitions?
So will someone save me a lot of time and tell me simply ...
what is a mojo.
Many thanks in advance.

I lose my Mojo when I can't be bothered with something or other...so I guess it's my motivation or a general 'can't be assed' feeling.

It was the name of my late MIL's cat, also now sadly RIP. He was the best cat ever.

A magical spell, or charm. Probably African origin.

Now used by men who can't pull and claim to have lost their 'mojo'.

I have to ask myself - were the early replies designed to put me off the real definition?
The waters became muddier.
But then Blizzie comes along with a definition which has a credible ring to it.

However it could be that Blizzie is the one who is mischievously throwing me off the scent.

....No Blizzie's definition is a recognised one, although I heard that it originated in Voodoo as based in Haiti and the Southern US states

Mwahahaha!

No, seriously, I think that's the troof.

I believe the Austin Powers film brought it into popular useage.

Muddy Water's 1957 hit, Got My Mojo Working, introduced the term to the wider world, apparently.

Not to muddy the waters, or nuffink.

Well that would fit as voodoo has African roots - it was brought over with the slaves originally exported from Africa to the Caribbean and southern US.

Does this link help brisket..?

Snap Blizzie! I posted first and then read the rest of the thread.

It's often used nowadays to refer to your general Oomph, or get-up-and-go, but that's pretty much the same thing.
