"Nuff Ced McGreavy"? I'm pretty sure it's "'nuff said" Mc'Greavy shouted. As in, "Enough said," shouted McGreavy. Am I crazy? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 68.104.118.74 (talk • contribs) 20 March 2005.

Yes and No. As the third paragraph in the article notes, Michael T. McGreevy's nickname was "Nuf Ced". Apparently he would end arguements in his bar by slamming a fist down on the bar and stating enough said, which was colloquially rendered as nuff ced. In the context of the song, McGreevy's name is being given, not a recouting of what he said. For more info, see When Boston Won the World Series (ISBN 0762418400) Carter 13:37, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Well, I don't know, who are you? ;-)

"Nuff Ced" is a turn of the century colloquial slang term for "enough said". Awhile ago, I put the lyrics to the song on here, and I agree that it's better not to have it on this page, but because of formatting issues. I disagree with it being against Fair Use policies. If Wikipedia isn't research based and non-profit, I don't know what is; those are two of the key requirements for something being used for Fair Use. I'm going to find some lyrics to link to right now. --Karmafist 02:20, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)
