What is a "gleitzeit"?

A "gleitzeit" is a sudden, uninvited, but not necessarily unwelcome, commercial intrusion into a meeting place such as a chat room.

Also, a poltergeist with a pitch.

Then beware that you do not become tarred with the same brush.

Will keep that in mind if I'm ever tempted to hawk something in here.

But do you know a hawk from a handsaw?

I know I could hawk a handsaw in a power blackout. What else do I need to know?
