"A company thathawks “As Seen on TV” wares..."

*Sigh* So few understand how to use the English language...

Yesterday while viewing a HAWK flying overhead, I determined I should HOCK some of my unnecessary trinkets from my basement.

“Hawk” as used here is the correct usage. Look it up.

If you decided to "hock" your trinkets at a pawn shop you would be correct.

However it is perfectly correct to say that someone on TV selling products is "hawking" them.
