red hook

1. A symptom of a disease called Redhooker's Disease in which a man's penis bends in more than a 90 degree angle. 2. A person from Red Hook, New York. Many have noted that the first and second terminology frequently overlap eachother, as people from Red Hook have ritual for when baby boys are born. Like circumsision, the boys have their penises physically altered when they are in their young malleable states. Though unlike circumcision, the penis is held between two bricks for over 48 hours, which make the boys have a penis that is generally more acute than that of a right angle. It is also supposedly derived that the name Red Hook comes from this ritual which began in the 1600's. Red Hooking (the art of bending your penis) is also somewhat a rite of passage. There's an old saying in Red Hook that implies that the penis must be more than 90 degrees curved upward. If the angle doesn't reach the numbers of 90 degrees, the boy will continue putting bricks on his penis until this happens (though many are excommunicated from Red Hook because once a penis has formed in the normal fashion, it is difficult to alter its shape.)
