Jamie Moyer Tweets Probably a Oaxacan Word
May 19, 2014
Because he is afraid both of answers and the truth, the author has not endeavored to confirm that the word Ydhwxactx — very clearly tweeted by former major-league left-hander Jamie Moyer — actually belongs to any of the Oto-Manguean languages. It seems to, however, and that — as America’s celebrities teach us — is what’s most important.
Carson Cistulli has published a book of aphorisms called Spirited Ejaculations of a New Enthusiast.
The Manguean branch, it seems, is extinct, so perhaps only Moyer himself could confirm the word’s meaning. It’s probably just an ancient word for “change-up.”
