Deciphering James Joyce-What Does This Mean?
We all know that Joyce went out of his way to make obscure puns and sayings.
anyway, I came a cross this sentence once, and never remember hearing a good explanation of it: "Jenghis is ghoon for you" Any takers?

Right, it's a pun on "Guiness is good for you" with the replacement of Jenghis Khan being a goon.
