     [ "hint hint" ]

    1: "Hint, hint" is what you say when you're trying to get someone to do something or realise what you're asking them for, when it would be rude or inappropriate to ask them to do it directly. It is said humorously to make it a bit more obvious that you're giving hints as to what you'd like them to.

      * e.g.,  ... Brother: My friend is coming round tonight, and we're hoping to have a little bit of time alone together, hint hint, if you get my drift, hint hint. 

     [ "hint hint" ]

    1:  "Hint hint" is something that someone says sarcastically to another person to guide them into the correct direction, to let them know that they are close to a solution (usually by pointing their finger to the correct area, etc...), it is simply dropping a 'hint" to an otherwise temporarily or permanently clueless person.

      * e.g.,  ... EX: This Blonde Bombshell was hitting on John, but he was so nervous that he could not reply with anything else other than a nod. I think the cat had his tongue LOL! So I whispered: "Hint hint" *elbow jab* John! get on the ball or I will. Well, John wussed out and I had a sweet one night stand with a total babe! I think John put her on his MILF list. Ooooooooooh she is SO fine! I won't tell John that she gave me her number. I am gunna ring her soon too; she told me to give her a booty call anytime!

     [ "The Hint" ]

    1: Only the best band to ever come out of Baltimore, Maryland. Comprised of Joe Jayson(providing sweet melodic vocals), Jeff Hurn(providing kick ass beats on the drums), Tim Foltyn(providing amazing tunes on the guitar) and Geoffrey Blake(providing us with sick sounds from the bass). Not only are they amazing in their music, but they are the nicest guys you will ever get the chance to meet. So, if that chance ever comes to you, don't pass it up! These 4 guys manage to make their music sound completely amazing without sounding like any other band I've heard before. They are truly unique. From the lyrics, to the music, everything is just incredible. They titled their newest album "They Can't Stop Us Now" and clearly, they can't.

      * e.g.,  ... LYRICS:
