"The real McCoy"
You can say something is the real McCoy if it's genuine, and not a fake or a copy.
Example: The duck liver pate was the real McCoy. It tasted so much better than the stuff in tins they call duck liver pate back home.
Original / Verdadero.
Example sentences:
- You only paid $50 for a Gucci handbag? Well it's obviously not the real McCoy then, is it / ¿Solo pagaste $50 por una bolsa Gucci? Bueno, obviamente no es verdadera, es todo.
- I know my new Rolex is the real McCoy because I bought it from the Rolex store in Paris / Sé que mi nuevo Rolex es original porque lo compré en la tienda Rolex en Paris.
Additional examples:
- Of course it's authentic. It's the real McCoy.
- Cheap sparkling wines cannot be labelled 'champagne'. It has to be the real McCoy.
