This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Also, you can get good grades and be a moron. My HS valedictorian was the dumbest person I have ever met. She could regurgitate information on a test, but didn't understand a bit of it.

Last I checked she was hocking some MLM bullshit on Facebook.

MLM

So every time this abbreviation comes up I have to ask, are you talking about Multi-Level Marketing, Men Loving Men, Marxism-Leninism-Maoism or Muslim Lives Matter?

What do the context clues suggest?

Do you think they are talking about someone selling a Marxism package?

Sorry I didn't know what "hocking" meant. That doesn't really help tho, can you sell multi level marketing?

yes, that is the entire point of it is to make people sell a product that's worthless.

TIL hocking and hawking mean the same thing. Which one came first?
