Where I'm from, the words "hock" and "hawk" don't sound alike. Neither do "do" and "dew."
Just an accent thing, I guess. (But to be fair about it, though some people might buy a paper to read the "nooz," hardly anyone goes to church to sit on a "poo.&quot

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loogie


The term loogie is typically used to refer to sputum, a mixture of phlegm and nasal mucus expectorated from the throat by coughing. It may also refer to:

Hocking a loogie, inhaling hard to force nasal mucus to collect at the back of the throat, then spitting it out, typically resulting in a loud throat-clearing sound.

Loogie, a minor character from South Park; see List of minor characters on South Park#Loogie
Mucus
Phlegm

And yes, Wikipedia has a Loogie page.

The slang dictionary which of course isn’t official says hocking is either to sell or to pawn.

I have always known it as hocking. But that’s slang for you.

You know our entire stock market rises and falls based on the price of beans alone. Leave our glorious
leader alone so he can transition to promoting hambenders and diet cokes next week.

The more they steal,
The more they loot!

The more they loot,

So let's hawk beans
for every meal!
