vanishedone commented on the word poet-baiting
BBC News quoting Alex Dove on McGonagall: 'He tried to hawk these poems around the streets of places like Dundee and he was notoriously encouraged to give performances just so people could make fun of him. Poet-baiting became an ongoing activity, they used to throw vegetables at him and all sorts.'
