OP Just looking online about spruik and got lots of Dutch websites which contain this word. I don't speak Dutch, but it seems that the etymology of this word must originally somehow come from there. Also the German word Spruch refers to a saying or pat response would seem to come from the same root word. My Webster's unabridged says it's an Australian word. Any ideas out there?
