I've heard "hork" used often in Northwest Florida and southern Alabama,

especially among Cajun commercial fishermen along the Gulf Coast, to mean "to

vomit."



Dave Bary wrote a very funny piece about dinner time around the Barry

table. The dog saw sitting down at the table as a signal to begin makine

loud horking sounds. Anyone who has a dog knows this sound. It is not

vomiting, but rather a precurser to vomiting.
