I no, if you have to ask, you don't have it.
I just need to know how does one pronounce it?

Greets, Tigger!
I'll take a weak stab at pronounciation of this word, though I seem to remember a rather heated discussion, a few years back, on this very topic, and
on the origin of the word and its meaning.
I say, "eh ox ee mox oh ah". You say, "oxymoxy". I say "tow may tow", and you say, "Tow mah tow"...
If you've got it, you don't say much except, "Aaaaaaaaah".
I'll leave it to others to expound on the origin, etymology, and meaning... it was the name of a Grateful Dead album, years ago.

First started using it when i was 13....got it from a cosmic surfer dude named Murphy, drawn by the amazing surf/rock poster/album artist Rick
Griffin.
Later Rick did the album cover which became the 'aoxomoxoa' album for the dead.
It started out as oxomoxo and later had the a's added. It was clear when Murphy was saying 'cowabunga' that his little surfing alien pal who was
invowed with the pure stoke, and well into the juice, would emote with a mighty 'AoxomoxoA', which made me think he found something.
In kiting, we call that something aoxomoxoa, some of us do, anyway, and i say it, ox oh mox oh wah like that.
I got some in Galveston last year, i got some in St. Augustine not to long ago, i'm hoping to get some more at El Mirage any minute now.
Here's what Andrew the Oracle wrote long ago:>>>>>>>>>>>>>
