ilk (n.) 

 

long ago meant "like" or "same" and was used in Scotland to identify people by associating them with the place they hailed from, as in McLeod of that ilk, meaning "McLeod of the same (place)," or "McLeod of McLeod." 



But today the only Standard meaning of ilk in English is "kind" or "sort": We don’t socialize with people of that ilk.





　

Haneke is obsessed by that spectacle, and by the helpless reflex that compels us to keep watching, even as we cringe [at] what we see. When the first "Funny Games" came out, in 1997, it felt like a furious rejoinder [to] "Reservoir Dogs" (1992) and the rest of the pack—to the insistence, among Tarantino and his ilk, on bloodshed as an amusing spectator sport.
