1. It's prounounced, Ix-Nay, but that's an easy mistake.
2. It's piglatin for "nix", a word meaning "forget it" or "drop it" or "not now".

I think you are referring to ixnay, which means like end, or stop. It's pretty much synonmous with "nix" It's really just Pig Latin and became widely used after appearing multiple times on the Three Stooges. Ex. Ixnay on the yelling

It's "ixnay" which is Pig Latin for "nix." It means to stop something. Usually this is a caution that you're saying or doing something that's about to get you in trouble.

ix-nay, is pig-latin(remember that?) for "nix" which means, no, and is usually said when someone says something that shouldn't be said, it's like, "shut up!"
