According to the Band ...
What does Hokus Pick
Mean?
"Hokus
Pick" is an old expression of surprise that we
picked
up through the Canadian bible college circuit.
How would you
use this expression?
example #1 If
you were to open up a gift on Christmas morning and it was
exactly what
you wanted, you'd say "Hokus Pick! It's just what I
wanted!".
example #2 If
you left a carton of milk in your fridge for five months and
then
opened it,
you'd say "Hokus Pick! That smells bad!".
example #3 If
you went for a walk by the ocean and saw a whale the size of
the Love
Boat, you'd say "Hokus Pick! That's a big whale!".
example #4 If
you went to a Hokus Pick concert and really liked the music
and had a
great time, you'd say "Hokus Pick! That was a fun
concert!".
Q. Do I have to like Hokus
Pick in order to used this expression?
A. No, anyone
can used this expression, although we would be happier if you
actually liked
the band.
