"hankering" is a word! It is even a word we use here in America. So, for those of you who voted "no" and agreed with Gary (who was the one who voted "no, it is not a word used in America"), please read on. According to the free online dictionary (although you may find the same results using other sources) "hanker" means "To have a strong, often restless desire." So I want to thank those of you who are educated enough to agree with me, and especially for those of you who may be having a hankering for sushi at this very moment. But not to worry, if you are one of the few who did not know what it means, all is not lost....you know now and will appear much smarter if you use it in your everyday conversations. And your vote did not result in a change of my judgment of you as a person. After all, my own husband didn't think it was a word...or at least not a word used in America. Since this does not show Gary's highest point of intelligence he may choose to delete this post once he reads it....so if you are reading this, consider yourself lucky....and thanks again for all your votes! :)

I know you well enough to know you wouldn't use a word that doesn't exist! Remember in English, that look Mr. Ed gave you? I'm sure you don't need me to explain!
Don't worry, Gary, we still love you just the same!
