Description:

The term 'koxy' refers to a dishonest or false statement. It most closely translates the English expression 'bullshit'. It comes from the Mandarin Chinese expression 'gǒu shǐ' (狗屎), meaning 'dog shit', with a similar colloquial use. Koxy is always very direct and confrontational and is not a polite word to use. Do not use in a situation where you want to avoid confrontation. It is fine to use among friends and equals, where it may be taken better, but should still be avoided unless you know exactly what you're doing.

Noun:

As a noun, koxy refers to a statement that is regarded to be disingenuous, dishonest or false.

Verb:

As a verb, koxy is a transitive skurun verb, which takes an ergative subject which is the bullshitter and an absolutive object which is the person to whom the bullshit is delivered. The topic of the bullshit can be introduced as a prepositional phrase introduced by the preposition 're'.

Modifier:

As a modifier, 'koxys' is a general derogatory word. The derogation can be related to the literal meaning of koxy as false or dishonest, but doesn't have to be.
