No, Nancy, that is juvenile slang from your teenhood.
What the ghost of Blair appears to be saying from the recesses of my killfile is that he is pawning frozen food.
Oh, hawking! Thank you for explaining.
That's horking , not hocking.

Right! That must be what Blair meant! Not expelling phlegm from the lungs and spitting it, not pawning the frozen food!

Mmm mmmm *shaking my head*
Horking is more nasal. Hacking is more throaty, but drier. Hocking is the juiciest. All the little Sheldons hocked loogies when I was in middle school.

Horking is more like barfing, but is probably the least used of the three, so I'd expect the largest breadth of interp on it.
