2) " I him-haw and he betters the offer. Finally the deal goes down."

3) "We procrastinate, delay, him-haw around and then 3 weeks before vacation we work like maniacs."

GEE HAW

/dʒiː/ /hɔː/

Oft conflated with yee haw: right and left, respectively, TWO commands for controlling a beast of burden with respect to the current path.

The phonologically entertaining velar abandonment of gee for slothen vowel yee /ˈji/ has produced yee haw

"GEE," let's not fall into the fathomless crevasse. "HAW," let's not flip the caravan riding up the embankment. Gee Haw itself is befuddling

The Hawes Effect

When person(s) begin working in a neighborhood or populated area, the surrounding residents will come outside, and begin to look busy, such as mowing the lawn, or fixing the door frame that your wife has complained about for months now.

This typically occurs in persons past the age of 40.

Everyone just decided now would be a good time to mow the lawn?

Yeah, that’s The Hawes Effect dude.
