hard knock

A term used in the military, for storming a house using violent force. It doesn't nessicerily mean shooting or throwing grenades before entering a room, but the soldiers will be highly alert and ready to do so.
The opposite is a "soft knock" which means knocking on the door and "asking" calmly to come in.
We did a hard knock on a house in Basra.

Knock

a knock is someone who occasionally does impulsive, immature, random things (such as buying a 12-pack of mountain dew game fuel). Knocks are basically people who don't care what other people think of them, and act like idiots.
There are 2 kinds of knocks: knocks that are just joking around, or knocks who are actually complete idiots. This word has been used to mean various things, but this use of the word was invented in Berkeley, CA, and brought to widespread use by students at berkeley high school
"dude!! I just downloaded 2 Andrew W.K. albums!"

"you are such a knock!!"

To wake you up tomorrow. It goes back to the days in before alarms where they used to come around and knock on your door to wake you up. Moden UK or british type hotel clerks will still use the saying.
