I use it all the time myself, though a) it's not really a word (at least not according to m-w.com) and b) I've never actually written it but have only spoken it. In my mind, it has always been "hork," but it looks way funnier and somehow more onomatopoetic with the 'w', so that shall henceforth be the official spelling, if we so concur on this day in this place, because we are clearly superior arbiters of language.<BR/><BR/>Brilliant.Shepcathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10435989618782168347noreply@blogger.com
