It's a word that comes out of old English, "tailors and their ilk" is equivalent to "tailors and such". However this word in modern times carries a strong negative connotation and violates our policy against personal attacks (without delivering any significant information). Basically just a throwaway piss word.
I have a question for you. Do you want to edit here? Or is quarreling and fussing what you are really up to. Think about it.

I highly recommend that you do look the word "ilk" up in the dictionary, Fred, as it fits this lying and hypocritical mob here that is falsely attempting to have me blocked, banned, and censored
