hawk

A state where another party maintains possession of something, but does not have full ownership of it, and must gaurontee that it can be sold back to the original owner for a fixed amount.

Usually when you offer something (jewelry, property, etc) up for collateral, it is in "hawk". Possessor can be a bank, a pawn shop, an impound lot, etc; but is usually limited to legal matters.

You can get the item "out of hawk" by paying the money back, or filling the contract out.

"You can hawk any property in monopoly for half what you paid for it"

"I need 50$ to get boardwalk out of hawk"

"I hawked my wedding ring to the pawn shop for 200$"

Hawk

A biting wind -- that brings already cold temperatures to an unbearable level, with the wind-chill level multiplying the effects of the cold .

Used by military who are stationed in very cold places and are in the field much - no heat or shelter....just out in it 24/7

This was only used by military (2nd Armored Cavalry) in one way -- this sentence:
'This Hawk is kickin' my ass!'

You never heard the word in any other context.
