Pig Latin for nix interjection
Lexinote: A pig Latin word considered a real word by Yr Lex's card-carrying professional 'colleagues' (if I may be so bold). One of two, so far, they've summoned the courage to submit to editorial boards - or smuggle past them into print. The other being "amscray," meaning "to bugger off." Well done, all. Only several thousand to go.
