the full saying appears to be quite new & is still rather rare even with moxy spelled moxie whether in the sense of put a jinx or a hex on someone or in the sense of put a damper or a kibosh on something etc
so like call it totally 21st century
but the word moxie meaning originally nerve or courage or spirit comes from a bitter 19th & early 20th century soft drink that may have been named from a New England Indian word & that in any case promised to give you these qualities
so if anyone ever did put a moxie on someone until recently it would have had to mean to inspire or lend them courage but it doesnt seem to have ever been used that way as a phrase
so it is a strange new development if indeed it ever becomes well defined & popular at all
