Supposedly a general-purpose UK interjection. Never heard of it. Google Books has very little, but it seems to be an adjective, and probably of American use (since it's in a conversation about the Ku Klux Klan). Equinox ◑ 19:07, 24 May 2015 (UTC)
- Never heard of it, although the other edits by this user seem genuine so I doubt it's a joke. More likely a mistake or so regional none of us have ever heard of it. Renard Migrant (talk) 21:08, 24 May 2015 (UTC)
- Added the American adjective use. I think this might be an extremely idiosyncratic minced oath - like sugar or fiddlesticks, but much rarer. Smurrayinchester (talk) 11:08, 25 June 2015 (UTC)
- RFV-failed. The only use of it as an interjection that I can find is in the longer interjection from The Frogs of Aristophanes, βρεκεκεκὲξ κοὰξ κοάξ, which has been rendered into English a number of ways, including brickety-axe, co-axe, co-axe. - -sche (discuss) 03:43, 10 October 2015 (UTC)
