"Mojo Jojo" does also just go by Mojo, but probably most people looking for the character would have also heard his full name. 72.87.188.118 (talk) 05:45, 6 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

External link a removed

I removed this external link, but am placing it here in case anyone is planning on writing an article on The Mojo Project:

Classification?

Just wondering why for example Box Office Mojo is "Other" and not "Media and Entertainment". And there also couple of more that should somewhere else than "Other". It took my some time to find it.--Nedergard (talk) 13:57, 7 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Figurative use

@Bkonrad: Besides my silly edit summary, why did you revert my edit? This was popularized as such in the film Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me. The slang usage stems from its African voodoo origin, but has a completely different association in modern culture. Feels like an omission not to include something along these lines.

Hard to see any ambiguity in the entries you added. Both Charisma and Libido fail WP:DABMENTION and can't much risk of confusion. While the term is mentioned in Austin Powers, the movie itself isn't ambiguous and the term there links to Mojo (African-American culture) in any case. older ≠ wiser 22:43, 8 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Perhaps what would make sense is a mention of mojo as the MacGuffin of The Spy Who Shagged Me under 'Film and television'. That's where the term more or less re-entered the popular lexicon, being pretty much as well known as Mojo Jojo from The Powerpuff Girls. UpdateNerd (talk) 22:54, 8 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Sounds like unreferenced notion. The term has been in common use for a long time. Perhaps Austin Powers contributed to some resurgence, but nothing of encyclopedic note. older ≠ wiser 23:07, 8 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
