Why do people always use the word "ixnay" when speaking Pig Latin? I've never even heard anyone use the normal word "nix"...

ANSWER

Anti-Semantic - Quaerens Intellectum

ANSWERS: 1

Green Goddess

Pig Latin version of nix; possibly the only Pig Latin phrase to enter common English besides amscray. Ixnay and amscray were used widely in "The Three Stooges" shorts, possibly the main source of popularity for the words.
