Mojo is a term commonly encountered in the African-American folk belief called hoodoo. A mojo is a small bag, a type of magic charm, often of red flannel cloth and tied with a drawstring, containing botanical, zoological, and/or mineral curios, petition papers, and the like. It is typically worn under clothing.
第一次聽到這個單字是在王牌大間諜2,Austin Powers很擔心mojo被偷走的他,是否能夠風流以往。而中文字幕翻得也很妙:魔酒,應該說直接音譯正好切合mojo的意思。有魔力的酒,酒本身也是有激發人類潛能的東西。
