How it's used

This term carries a slightly negative or suspicious connotation, often implying that the goods being sold are of questionable quality or that the sales tactics are intrusive. It is frequently used to describe street vendors or aggressive salespeople who approach people uninvited. Unlike general words for selling, it emphasizes the act of actively seeking out customers to push products.

Common mistake

Avoid using this to describe legitimate, professional sales activities in a store or office, as it implies a more informal or illicit street-level context. It is not a neutral synonym for selling or marketing.
