Well I haven't ever run across that word before and even now, I don't know how to pronounce it lol.
Spruik, like Luke.
Somehow it always seems like highjacking, and most times I hesitate. You hesitate a moment and.....the moment's gone :)
No! I value it so much when people engage with each other. I would love there to be sprawling comment sections that go off on tangents :)
I will try to remember to use spruik in my day to day conversation, so it will stick in my brain lol.
I've seen some comment sections go off on tangents in several different directions. It really can be engaging.
