Longest running troll on this board second only to Shades.

No joke, right? Grammar guy can't locate a dictionary. :roll:

Shades, "knick" is the shortened name for "knick-knack".
I thought the Knicks was short for knickerbockers.
No, that’s a common misunderstanding, or ‘suburban legend’. Interestingly enough, the “knack” bit was actually shortened from “knackered” because people were often knackered after a hard day of knicking at the MS gardens, hence knick-knackereds became knick-knacks.

He probably was just there for the Spurs. Always a good idea for Trump to root for spurs when there's a war afoot.

Location: From John Wilson's exhibit at the Met in NYC earlier this year. Stunning when seen in person.
