A man whose last name is McCoy wants a definitive answer about the origin of the expression "the real McCoy." He's been told it comes from the name of turn-of-the-century boxing champ Kid McCoy. Is that really the case? Grant and Martha reference the Dictionary of Scots Language for answers. This is part of a complete episode.
