Funny story (well, to me anyway) along those lines:
A long time ago, in a country far, far away there was a bar named the Calico Kitten, and in that bar worked a lovely young lass whose English was spoken in an accent quite similar to the one heard in one's mind's ear when reading your quoted post above.
I have no idea what this girl's given name was - I just started calling her "Mahoney", and my fellow Marines soon followed suit. Apparently the appellation took hold because more than a year later, after transferring to a different unit I was having a very high-level discussion with our Corpsman about some of more interesting Bangkok bars and mentioned the CK. As soon as he heard the name of the bar he commented on one of the working girls there - said everyone called her Mahoney. No one
ever cared what these girls' names were but it seemed that, out of the scores that worked the CK, Mahoney was one everybody seemed to know.
Rather than the now cliche "Me so horny" phrase, this young lady would simply say "I'm horny" which, with her accent came out "I'm a hoanie". Well, it sounded like "
I'm Mahoney" to me.
At 21 years old I never thought anything about it. Now, after recalling the story I actually feel kinda bad.
