- The kid sounds like they're horking up a lung.@alice In Cumbria, it is “howl”, as in “Howk it out, lad”. There is a small waterfall near Caldbeck called The Howk. Given that most of the local place names have some derivation from Old Norse, “hork” may well have very old roots.
Just thought I’d share.

You know the quasi-lingustic "bouba-kiki" experiment?
I have a pet theory that a lot of appealing words are ones that are somehow a perfect marriage of both "bouba" and "kiki", so that you can't really clearly think of them as one or the other, or at least people will disagree on which one a given word is.
"hork" is a good example of that!
@oddtail that's a good theory. I think inherently evocative words are really appealing to me, such as ones that are autological, portmanteau, and/or onamonapia.
Now I'm wracking my brain for a word that's all three of those—preferably with a good mix of bouba/kiki.
Edit: I meant autological, not sure why I said hetero-.

I feel like the lung one should be hocking or hacking. Maybe there’s a regional variation. -

- The kid sounds like they're horking up a lung.Words ending with that "-ork" sound in general are usually pretty satisfying to say.
"Horking fork-borked stork pork" for instance.

@alice Ok, now you're just channeling the Swedish Chef (affectionate).
