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.

Yes. Exactly.
That's really interesting (thank you both). I thought you were joking, honestly.
Religion is for people whose existential fear is greater than their common sense. It's also the favored cover for hypocrites.
