Does your mom have mojo? Tell us in 50 words or less. Winners will take their moms to see the Seattle Mariners take on the Chicago White Sox on Sunday, May 11.
This is an ad the The News Tribune, April 25, 2003. My son LOVES baseball and would like to enter the contest. But we need to know what the heck is mojo? I guess if I have to ask, I probably don't have it!!
TOPICS: Miscellaneous
KEYWORDS: baseball; mojo; mothersday
Ok, so I'm turning to FReepers for help to update my lexicon in "kewl." What does having "mojo" mean?!

Him?
Or..
mo·jo n. pl. mo·jos or mo·joes
1.A magic charm or spell.
2.An amulet, often a small flannel bag containing one or more magic items, worn by adherents of hoodoo or voodoo.
3.Personal magnetism; charm.
I think the third is what they are looking for. Although I have also heard it used meaning sex appeal.
Kind of a weird thing to evaluate your mom on but what do I know?

Hey, thanks for that! That's basically what I found when I looked it up . . . somehow I think I'm missing something that has to do with "current idiomatic coloquialism" in baseball (?) or something like that. My 18 year old daughter says she's heard it used but couldn't define it. Ah, just getting old and out of touch. Now how am I supposed to help my 9 year old understand so that we can get those tickets?
