5. Bob and Doug McKenzie
In the movie "Strange Brew", the word "hork" is used as slang for "steal", as in "Someone horked our clothes!"

9. The MG family, almost daily
With three cats, one with frequent hairballs and another with a sensitive stomach (who swallows his food nearly whole--brilliant move there), one of them or another is always horking up something. We usually use it in a cat sound effect: "Horka, horka, horka, BLEAH" means it's time for me to get the cleaning spray.
