A (usually annual) gathering of old, stinky, unwashed, and severely overweight men (with a limited number of women, usually of the same qualities) where antiquated and largely useless radio equipment is bought, sold, and traded, usually at exorbitantly high prices.

While some hamfests are useful for finding odd parts and rare equipment, many have degraded in quality over the years and are not worth going to any more.
I was at this one hamfest in Bowie, MD and this hambone picked up a simplex repeater and said, "Duh, so it records the radio, TTX?"

h4mb0n3-1: Man, did you go to the Vienna hamfest this year, the one at NOVA?

h4mb0n3-2: No way, d00d, that hamfest is not as good as it used to be.

Hamesticle 

Someone with homosexual sympathetic tendencies, who believes his testicles are larger than average. This person likely has undiagnosed developmental delays and can't fathom their testicles have retreated back inside their scrotum. In serious cases the entire scrotum will retreat, leaving the appearance of a vagina where the testicles used to reside.
Mark was feeling down and I asked him what was the matter? He confided to me and said his Dr. recently diagnosed him as the first patient suffering from Hamesticle.

hamfisted meme 

A meme so horribly shoved into any situation, often a case of some inbred Tumblrina getting angry at someone and littering their comment section with a unrelated picture, lyrics from a song, a copypasta text meme or something like that in order to litter a comments section with immature spam. It's never a logical argument and just shows the poster is pathetic.
Finalspin could not think of any logical argument against the picture that showed there are only two genders, she then copied the description and in a hamfisted meme, tried to work that one old TV show "Wheel of Fortune" in her version of it as she posted into the comments section, proving she was braindead and was a inbred SJW.
