intj

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”).

  1. The sound of spitting on a person's penis in preparation for oral sex.

    [Dee:] What's one move in bed that makes a man go crazy every time? [Haliey Welch:] Oh, you gotta give him that hawk tuah and spit on that thang, you get me?
