hawk tuah

== English == === Alternative forms === hawk tuhh, hawk tua === Etymology === Onomatopoeic, imitative of a full spitting sound. The catchphrase went viral after a street interview conducted in June 2024 with Haliey Welch, who stated that her signature move for making a man “go crazy” in bed was to “give him that hawk tuah and spit on that thang”. However, isolated uses exist earlier (albeit without the association with oral sex). Perhaps compare ptui (“spitting sound”). === Pronunciation === (General Australian) enPR:, IPA(key): /hɔk ˈtʉːə/ (UK) enPR: hôk to͞o′ə, IPA(key): /hɔːk ˈtuː.ə/ (Standard Southern British) IPA(key): [hoːk ˈtʉwə] (US) enPR: hôk to͞o′ə, IPA(key): /hɔkʰ ˈtu.ə/ (cot–caught merger) enPR: häk to͞o′ə, IPA(key): /hɑk ˈtu.ə/ Rhymes: -uːə === Interjection === hawk tuah (slang, humorous, vulgar) The sound of spitting on a person's penis in preparation for oral sex. ==== See also ==== hawk, hock, hack (cough) tuah, tuh, ptui (the sound of spitting) === Verb === hawk tuah (third-person singular simple present hawk tuahs, present participle hawk tuahing, simple past and past participle hawk tuahed) (slang, humorous) (ambitransitive) To spit.
