There is a completely different aspect to a “mojo.” “Mojo”
derives from the Spanish word “mojar” (to dunk) and means
a sauce in which to dunk food. Especially famous is “mojo
picón” from the Canary Islands, a hot spicy sauce typically
served with fish and small jacket potatoes (“papas arru-
gadas”).

Hmmmm… I got My Dunkin’ Sauce Workin’, but it just don’t work on you? I’m never gonna be able to listen to that song again without picturing Chicken McNuggets…
Mojo? Isn’t he that monkey on the Power Puff girls? 
I always though it was self-explanatory: A ‘mojo’ is a person’s sex drive.
Mojo Jojo is the Powerpuff Girls’ greatest enemy.
Where is Jomo Mojo when you need him. He climbed all over my mojo when we were discussing coffee. Surely he knows the Canary Island etymological derivation of dipping sauce.
