Kickapoo joy juice. A humorous term for any cheap liquor, Kickapoo joy juice remembers the Algonquin Kickapoo Indian tribe formerly resident in Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Wisconsin, but now living in Oklahoma and numbering about 800. The Kickapoos weren’t notorious drinkers; their name just seemed right for the alliterative phrase. Before the Civil War a Kickapoo ranger meant a violent pro-slaver in Kansas. American car- toonist Al Capp gave the expression Kickapoo joy juice wide currency in his comic strip “Li’l Abner.” |
