if a person tells you that something is “the real mccoy”, he is telling you it is the real thing, not a copy. it is the best that can be found.
there are different ideas on how the expression came into use. perhaps the most popular one is about a famous boxer, charles kids mccoy, a one-time famous boxing champion. one day, mccoy was having a drink in a bar with a lady friend. a man came up and began to talk to him. he was not a nice man.
mccoy wanted no trouble. he asked the man to leave. he said, “i'm kid mccoy.” mccoy thought his name was so famous that there was no need to say more. but the man did not believe him. “oh, yeah?” he said. “well, if you are kid mccoy, then i am george washington!” and he continued to speak to the prize-fighter's friend in an unpleasant way.
mccoy hit the man with fist (拳)——not hard——actually it was really a light touch. but the man fell to the ground, unconscious (無(wú)意識(shí)). ten minutes later, when he came to himself, he called out, “that was the real mccoy!” and that was how the expression got started.
there are other stories, however. one is that the expression goes back to the days of prohibition (禁止) when it was against the law in the united states to sell whiskey. although whiskey was against the law, many sold it. and many were not afraid to sell bad whiskey, because there was so little that anybody could do about it. buying whiskey, good or bad, was as illegal as selling it.
but there was one whiskey dealer who was honest. his name was mccoy. he refused to sell bad whiskey. his product became known as the best. it was called “the real mccoy”.
