moxie

Maybe it's like recreational drugs, as opposed to medicinal ones.

My daily intake of Coke, for caffeine, is necessary to my continued existence, not always for recreational purposes.

Wikipedia describes the product Moxie as a recreational soft drink. Does anyone know how that differs from an ordinary soft drink?

Eww, seafoam moist sounds so nasty.

Well arby, people used to use the phrase seafoam moist, but that fell out of favor pretty quickly. So yeah, green is all that's left. ;-)

I think spelling seafoam as two words takes moxie.

I agree 100% jr, and I know I've seen it spelled that way before - usually in the context of decorating or clothing.

This lovely bridesmaid's dress in seafoam green will flatter any complexion - yada yada yada

Another burning question - is there any other word that can follow/modify seafoam aside from green? Or should we just say the expression is always seafoam green and be done with it?

Wearing a sea foam green polyester suit with a pink ruffled shirt and white patent leather shoes takes moxie.

On a side note, why isn't sea foam one word? Both Dictionary.com & Word want to split in half. I think that the two halves want to sit together.

Retro? I had a cool, refreshing moxie at lunch today. How can it be retro, if it's always in style?

This is one of those words that I would love to see come back into general usage. It's just so retro!

Tastes like medicine, yet I love it.
