Didn't know that... Good story too. Still learning new things here.Here's an interesting story about the origin of the phrase "The Real McCoy". The short story is a guy invented a better oiler for steam locomotives, which was a major (and therefore costly) maintenance item that had to be done manually, oiling the many moving bearings. He invented an automatic oiler, and the lack of patent enforcement being what it was in those days, there were many copies, mostly of inferior metals and looser tolerances that didn't work as well. So the question asked if the origin/quality of a given item was in doubt was "Is that the real McCoy?" At least that's the story according to Mike Rowe:
