It's catching up to hawk tuah's peak search hits.

Because no one is answering you, "hawk tuah" is the nickname for a lady who got stopped by one of those annoying YouTubers/tiktokkers doing the old nighttime talk show "man on the street" gig, stopping pedestrians and asking them stupid questions in the hopes of getting an equally stupid or funny answer.

The question was something like "what's the most whatever thing you can do in bed with a guy that something something" or whatever, I forget the specific question because it reminded me of the crap you see on the cover of cosmopolitan magazine.

Anyway, this gal says the functional equivalent of "spit on his dick(to lube him up)" only she says it like "you gotta give it that HAWK TUAH" making a sound like she's Hocking up a huge lugey and spitting it out in the downward direction.

She is now known as hawk tuah and I think someone is trying to put her on reality TV.

Considering that we have three seasons of a show called "F-Boy Island" on broadcast television, I'm not very suprised someone wants to make her a star

TBF no one watches broadcast television anymore, so they'll stick anything on the airwaves to fill the schedule.

It's either that, or go the way of MTV and show nothing but endless reruns of one show. I don't know why they haven't renamed it "The Rob Dyrdek Network" by now and called it a day.

Prob gotta add the alt spellings like tua and hock, etc to get the full view count

With how widespread the memes are now, I doubt it'd be significant
