(9,750 posts)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."

(51,314 posts)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.

And yes, Wikipedia has a Loogie page.

(1,977 posts)The slang dictionary which of course isnt official says hocking is either to sell or to pawn.
I have always known it as hocking. But thats slang for you.
