Etymology

Onomatopoeia or imitative. For “cough up” sense, compare hawk/hock (16th century), which are almost homophonous in non-rhotic accents. For “throw” sense, compare huck. The “foul up” sense is presumably influenced by bork (late 1990s), from broken.

Pronunciation

• IPA^(key): /?h??(?)k/
• Rhymes: -??(?)k

Verb

hork (third-person singular simple present horks, present participle horking, simple past and past participle horked)

1. (computing, slang) To foul up; to be occupied with difficulty, tangle, or unpleasantness; to be broken.

   I downloaded the program, but something is horked and it won't load.

2. (slang, regional) To steal, especially petty theft or misnomer in jest.
