Hawk Tuah
Dead💀DeadDefinition
An onomatopoeia from a viral street interview where a woman was asked an NSFW question and responded with this sound effect. Became a massive meme, spawning merch, songs, and the 'Hawk Tuah Girl' (Hailey Welch) becoming briefly famous.
Translation for Parents
Please don't ask your kid what this means. It's from a viral video that's... not appropriate for family dinner. If your kid says it, just know it's a meme reference and move on. Trust me on this one. Some things are better left un-Googled.
Examples
“And she said hawk tuah 💀”
“(Reference to the viral video — you really don't want the full context)”
“The hawk tuah girl got a podcast now”
“The woman from that viral video now has a podcast”
Cringe Score
Grounds for emancipation
Saying this in front of your teenager will achieve one of two outcomes: they will die of embarrassment, or they will realize you know what it means and die of horror. Either way: death.
