nope hoike is definitely english

More specifically, it seems to me Northern/Borders English. It's one way to keep the southerners in their place (good thing IMHO Grin

).

One of those words you can use for ages until you notice someone looking blankly at you. I also think of it as implying something heavy, like a hay bale Wink

Greetings,
Mauro.

Sure? I'd rather think it comes from "fustibalus" in Latin.

Fundibularius is another word for the plain slinger (funditor), if I'm not mistaken. And from Fundibularius have come a few slings, but only two or three fustibali. Well, by now. Wink
