Word to the Wise: Hawking

Hawking — from the Middle English — is offering goods for sale in public. The word was originally connected with peddlers who aggressively sold their wares by going door to door or shouting in the street. 

Example (as used by Bob Bly today): “GL is worried that there are already more than enough people hawking e-books, DVDs, and courses on the Internet.”
