Hey TT, you gotta give her props for that one. That was a massively clever awesome rebuttal. I didn't know krys had a reply of that magnitude in her.

But no, he took us up front to the platform, and when the time come for the sermon he said: One you do it, and we normally preach for one hour. My dh refused, feeling uncertain about his English, and told me: You do it. Mercy!!! I knew at least one of the guys on the platform hated the thought of a female preacher ... and now, IN ENGISH! I had of course brought my English bible and thank God, I had just finished a bible study on the full armour of God by a guy called Carrell Thompson. So I turned to Eph 6 and my margin notes. I think it went well because I simply didn't have the time to feel nervous. And a lady got saved, too. Praise the Lord. Such experiences are interesting and fun, too - IN RETROSPECT.

You said 'American word' and I was thinking is moxie Yiddish or something? I looked it up and very interesting where the term came from:
Did You Know?
Hot roasted peanuts! Fresh popcorn! Ice-cold Moxie! You might have heard such a snack vendor's cry at a baseball game-if you attended it in 1924. That was the heyday of the soft drink named Moxie, which some claim outsold Coca-Cola at the height of its popularity. The beverage was a favorite of American writer E. B. White, who wrote, "Moxie contains gentian root, which is the path to the good life. This was known in the second century before Christ and is a boon to me today." By 1930, moxie had become a slang term for nerve and verve, perhaps because some people thought the drink was a tonic that could cure virtually any ill and bring vim back to even the most lethargic individual.
So it came from a drink.

So it doesn't suit me. I don't drink alchohol (apart from gin with yellow raisins, ask Krys about that one )

Well the way it's used had nothing to do with the drink these days. That's been lost. And it was a SOFT DRINK, not alcohol. :)
Speaking of me thinking it was Yiddish, the Yiddish equivalent would be chutzpah.
