I never knew John to insult folks but I guess your experience was different.

As for the term "hawk chainsaws or parts over the internet" I hear that term from a few folks but none can explain it.

Allow me to explain it to you...

To sell goods informally in public places.

Nope. The word "hawk" used here refers to "To sell goods informally in public places."
It's an old-timey word probably never heard of before by most, used in this way.
Like "hussy" and "haint."
Or, "gay," which now means something totally unrelated to what it meant back in the 1920s.

Here is what I know. I need to get out of the woods and see how my fighting Illini are doing against the cowardly Iowa Hawks. Hopefully piss pounding them

 

[TNTreehugger]

Apparently, both "hawk" and "hock" can also refer to coughing up a loogie.

" To “hawk” originally meant “to offer for sale in a very vigorous, public fashion, especially by calling out loudly in the street,” in the classic fashion of newspaper vendors. Modern “hawkers” tend to be found in TV infomercials, where a fast, aggressive and mind-numbingly repetitive sales pitch can hypnotize millions of otherwise sane people into buying musical doorstops and digital clothes hangers.

One might think, especially after watching a few infomercials, that “hawk” in this sense is a metaphor, likening a “hawking” huckster swooping down on hapless customers to a real hawk hunting field mice. But while “hawking” can have definite predatory overtones, the bird we know as a “hawk” (whose name comes from a Germanic root meaning “to seize”) is not the source of this “hawking.”

Hawk one’s wares « The Word Detective

Or maybe they work there and can't afford an apartment. Dear Word Detective: What is the meaning of the phrase "to hawk their wares"?-- Lisa. Is this about me selling my books in the Wal-Mart parking lot? The guy who collects the carts said it was OK. And my publisher isn't exactly...

Quality dick matters.

Woof I’d hate to see the murderer’s row of dick you been through if you think I got quality dick

I do not pay any attention to wrestling other than when my sons wrestled. No offense but Penn State should never have been allowed in the Big Ten nor should have Rutgers and Maryland. The Big Ten is a midwest conference!!

Also the Illini is blowing it. They were up 30-9 in the first half ......now the Hawks are handing them their asses. I am only 45 minutes away from the game but good thing I did not go. I would the fan on ESPN highlights getting thrown out.

I have done it at high school games.

I am not sure what qualifies as "quality dick" and I definitely do not want to know

That explains a lot. Shut the TV off.

I do not watch much TV and never an infomercial since Carlton Sheets in the 1980's

I don’t watch TV much either. Once or twice every week or every other week.

That meme fits me. My mother took off when I was 8 and my brother and I stayed on the farm with Dad. He was shall we say "rough around the edges". Every Friday night we would go to the local supermarket to get groceries. Just like clockwork in the checkout Dad would flirt with the woman working even if she was half his age. (we were born late in his life) I use to get goosebumps with some of the lines he would say. The worse was when I was a teenager and not going with him anymore. One Saturday morning he came to me and said "dammit Bill we need to talk". He proceeded to tell me the night before he was checking out at the grocery store and the young lady seen his name on the check and asked if he was related to Bill. He told her yes that is my son. She said "well tell him hello". He was pissed off. You see the girl was a young black gal. My Dad wanted to know why some black gal was telling him to tell me hello. I shrugged it off but had he known where her and I were the previous weekend I may have been pounding fence posts for a week.

I now find myself flirting with ladies half my age.
