hawk/hock

[Baker, John]

        Well, if we weren't able to get into intense serious discussion of minor issues of language, what kind of linguistics list would this be?

Gee, when I saw the pix I just thought it was a cute, and catchy, play on
words of the Dew Drop Inn, variant.  I doubt if many folks think of the
negative social or literary connotations of Swift's Yahoos when they log in
at that site, even thought he founders did.

The lack of intellectual playfulness on this group is sometime really
depressing.
