I don't have a "brand new" Ducati.

I know...


Mine has 4250 miles, several years old, hardly new. No dents or
scratches, though.

Let's see a picture of the motorcycle and odometer with a current
newspaper in the photo, too.Â* I'll give you a chance to win your

With Harry sitting on it.


Considering the sort of malooks who form the majority in this pigpen,
there is no way I am going to post photos of identifiable vehicles.

Right.

We wouldn't want any of your imaginary possessions to turn up under
someone elses ownership (like the red barn), or worse yet, from an
archived set of photos that someone else took (think Google images).

PS, you appear to be overworking the word "malook".Â* You must have a
thesaurus laying around someplace.Â* If not, there are several free
ones online:

Let's try one just for the fun of it.

This is odd.Â* The Oxford English dictionary has no exact matches.Â* Are
you sure that malook is even a word?




It's an Italian-American slang word, the "full" version of the word
"mook." It's in the urban dictionary, among other places.

https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=mook

Mook is in the online Merriam-Webster.

It has several, similar meanings...the most common is "idiot."

Growing up when I did in New Haven, I had lots of friends of various
cultural backgrounds, including many Italians. In describing someone
like you, "malook" was a word that would have been used. Or "mook." It
had meanings back then beyond idiot...some of the WASPs were referred to
as mooks not necessarily because they were idiots but because they were
so "white bread." No decent "ethnics" back then ate Wonder Bread.




True. I've heard "malook" often in my married lifetime.
Often it was preceded by an adjective. :-)
