To ask what 'hairy of hand' means?

[TreacsPotNoodle]

Just that really

It means the poster is suspected of being a troll.

Troll

I have no idea, I've never heard that expression. Maybe like a caveman? What context was it used in?

Never mind

Trolls are generally thought to have hairy hands. And hairy parts in general. It's kind of code for announcing the presence of one.

In terms of 'things people haven't heard before but which are unmistakeable phrases to many' (and to nick from another thread currently in Active)

'Those who are hairy of hand do it under bridges'

Oh everybody look at OP's username rolls eyes

It's a phrase older than internet trolling!

It used to be said that masturbation caused hairy palms. That became a way of accusing suspected pervs online. Then it evolved into the way of accusing trolls, because of the way story book trolls look.

It comes from "hairy-handed trucker". It used to be an in-joke on MN many years ago that someone who wasn't who they seemed (i.e. a troll) was really a hairy-handed trucker.

Treacs!!! Long time no see

Actually googled it. Pictures came up. Very freaky ones 😓

I'm not treats I was previously Pombear

I thought it meant a frequent masturbator Not that I've heard the term before but when I read the OP that's what I thought

I thought it was a bloke.

You learn something new everyday on MN

It means you need to go to St Clabberts.
