Firstly, it is tenter hooks, not tender hooks. It means waiting with anxiety. Tenter is a rack for drying cloth and a tenter hook is a nail with an upward curve on which the cloth is hung.
I was on tenter hooks until the test results arrived. Tender hooks do not exist and if they did, they would ne inefective because they are tender.

Hook Master = Master of "Hook Wrestling" (or Hook Fighting) aka "Catch Wrestling", usually known today as "Submission Wrestling". In its purest form, Submission Wrestling has NO points, NO rounds and NO time limits. Two grapplers wrestle until one "gives up" or "submits", either voluntarily, or by knock out (eg, passing out from a choke hold).
Hook/Catch/Submission WRESTLING or GRAPPLING uses NO strikes whatsoever, but Hook/Catch/Submission FIGHTING does (puncing, kicking, knees, elbows, headbutts).
Replaces outdated "hooker", which, since the civil war came to mean "prostitute". See HOOKER.

A guy goes to the doctor and says to him "Look doc, you're a man, I'm a man, let me explain something to you... I was on the business end of a pintle hook, is there anything you can do to help me out?"

A shot of amaretto with a scoop of creatine in it
Amaretto (28% abv for historical reasons) and creatine because it doesn’t dissolve and has a sand like texture in your mouth

The only way to formally address the boys. Sure, you’ve heard of a dap or even the G-Lock, but until you’ve executed the perfect Hook and Shoot you and said boy are not boys after all. Initiated by a slap of the hands which slides into a G-Lock. After this, the index finger is ‘shot out’ to represent the shoot after the primary hook. The handshake is concluded with a sturdy dap and a snap for good measure. Popularized by ya boy big E.
