Why we say The real McCoy.
The famous U.S. prize fighter, Kid McCoy, was also noted as a ladles man. In a saloon one day with`a nice-looking blonde he imagined that a drunk had got his eye on her. The Kid warned him, saying: "You may like to know I'm Kid McCoy." The drunk replied: "Oh, yeah? And I'm Julius Caesar." The Kid clipped him on tho chip and when the drunk had woken up he said: "I guess after all It was the real McCoy." The phrase "the real McCoy" at once became.. general to menn some- thing unexpectedly genuine.
