wyrzygać / podjadać Explanation: # hork - * Remember the Mackenzie Brothers' movie, "Strange Brew"? That was the first time I heard the word hork. It means to take that which is not yours, as in 'Someone horked my beer!' I know of only three people who ever use this word, which is a crying shame. It's fun just because of the way it sounds-- kinda like coughing up a lung. In the second meaning, originally identified in the Midwest from 1978 onward, it means "to vomit," particularly when most inconvenient or disgusting. Typical usage: "I massively overhooled last night, and after we dashed for some bulk I rehomed and horked on the planks." Roughly translated, this would be "I drank to excess, went out to get something to eat, and upon my return home, I threw up on the floor." Usage has been sustained in conjunction with The Weightless Dog and its events, where the standard admonition is, "don't hork anywhere that can't be mopped." http://www.13d.org/esofword/esof.cfm?type=right nie wiem, jak się to ma do html-ów ;) -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 14 mins (2005-02-16 18:15:10 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- http://www.mommyneedscoffee.com/index.php/weblog/comments/45... Isn’t it great how, in the English language, a word can have more than one meaning? In my dialect, “hork” is defined as “to eat food from another’s plate without asking permission,” as in “Don’t you hork any more of my fries.” Imagine my puzzlement at the title of your post… and “dehorking”? Let’s not even go there. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 17 mins (2005-02-16 18:18:27 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- dyskusja na temat \"cats\' horks\" http://www.mysinglemomlife.com/cgi-bin/mt/mt-comments.cgi?en... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr 54 mins (2005-02-16 19:55:18 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- dyskusja na temat \"cats\' horks\" http://www.mysinglemomlife.com/cgi-bin/mt/mt-comments.cgi?en... |
