Default What does it mean to hook?

I know that is a very stupid question. But what is the exact definition of hooking?

Wow, I'm a friggin idiot. For some reason I kept thinking it involved the rear sliding a little bit due to no traction (like when doing a burnout and the rear slides to the side). Thanks for clearing that up lol.

Well, I sort of agree. I think your LS1 car "hooks" when the ladies see you in it and they can't resist. Once they're in the car, you've got them hooked.

ya know when you see a torque converter and you go to install it? no wait, your out put shaft, it spins really fast at 100 mph, and once it... no thats not it. Basically when you go out and find some drugs, and you use it.. no thats wrong too.. O I know what it is.. remember peter pan? Capt. Hook! right!?
