 MOJO is a magical charm bag used in voodoo. It's the staple amulet
of African-American hoodoo practice, a flannel bag containing one or
more magical items. A corruption of the English word "magic", more
likely it is related to magical protection to attract love.
That's the dictionary
version. Here is the real skinny about MOJO in Mobile... |

 The
most popular use of the word is found in the recording “I Got My MOJO
Working” by Muddy Waters, the Mississippi-born, Chicago-style blues singer.
It's still Waters' most popular song.
I got my MOJO workin’ but it just don’t
work on you
I wanna love you so bad, child, but I don’t know what to do
I’m
going down to Louisiana, gonna get me a mojo hand
Gonna have you
all you women under my command |

Jambalaya
(pronounced JUM-bah-LIE-ah)
is a Louisiana Creole dish of Spanish and French influence.
The Dictionary of American Food and Drink
offers this creative old wives' tale about the origin of the
word "jambalaya": Late one evening a traveling gentleman
stopped by a New Orleans inn which had little food remaining
from the evening meal. The traveler instructed the cook, "Jean,
balayez!" or "Jean, sweep something together!" in the local
dialect. The guest pronounced the resulting hodge-podge dish as
"Jean balayez."
