CH's comment kinda had me stunned

Halloween was strictly a North American festive thing when I was I kid, the UK,Europe and Australia never celebrated it...
Sort of started in the early 80s in the Uk and not widely practiced here until a decade and a half or so ago....
So, I never really got it,sorry.

To quote from the Isil/isis dictionary....
It is a noun but can be used as an adjective ie; I hackneyed off the infidel's head.

Never really celebrated in SA either although people are starting to have Halloween parties these days.

I think Bro C-H is sportin'; here's what a hackney is: http://www.crystalgraphics.com/powerpictures/Image.Search.Details.asp?product=cg5p6740664c&title=donkey-tourist-coach-for-children Hacking off a head is somewhat different. And being "hacked off" means being angry about a person or situation. Mentally-disturbed butchers don't have the right to re-define good long-term English words, slick as they otherwise are. Finally, a hackneyed expression is one that's old, tired, used up, and shows one is only dimly capable of fresh thinking and expression

I believe you are incorrect about the origins and celebrations--it's a Celtic thing, dontcha know: http://www.halloweenhistory.org/

Sorry, Bro--I didn't mean my post as a punk-slap (can't say "bitch-slap" in these PC times) or a correction--just added intel.
