(slang) Nothing; nix; often in the phrase "ixnay on ...", indicating something that must not be mentioned, often in Pig Latin.
Ixnay on the "W-A-L-K" while the dogs can hear you.
Origin: Pig Latin version of nix; possibly the only Pig Latin word to enter common American English besides amscray and igpay. Ixnay and amscray were used widely in The Three Stooges shorts and The Flintstones episodes, possibly the main sources of popularity for the words.
