Hawk tuah is an internet meme originating from a viral YouTube video posted in 2024, in which during a street interview, Haliey Welch[1] (/ˈheɪli/; born 2002 or 2003)[2] used the catchphrase "hawk tuah", an onomatopoeia for spitting or expectoration on a man's penis during oral sex.[3]

On June 11, 2024, a vox pop YouTube channel, Tim & Dee TV, released a video featuring an interview with Haliey Welch in the Broadway district of Nashville, Tennessee, United States.[4] During the video, she was asked a series of adult questions including, "What's one move in bed that makes a man go crazy every time?" Welch's reply, in a hard Southern Twang accent, was, "You gotta give 'em that 'hawk tuah' and spit on that thang," referring to spitting on a man's penis during oral sex.[2][5][6]

The original video went viral, receiving millions of views across TikTok and Instagram, spawning remixes and remakes of the original audio, and gaining Welch the nickname Hawk Tuah Girl.[7] The video and the phrase turned into a meme, which would later prove unusually durable for a brief period of time.[8] Welch, who had been a minimum-wage worker at a factory, subsequently created an Instagram account, gained a sizable social media followership and media attention,[9] founded her company under which she registered various trademarks, gained representation by an agent,[8] and began selling merchandise themed on the phrase and making paid appearances.[9] On August 15, 2024, she threw the ceremonial first pitch of a New York Mets game,[10] and launched a podcast, Talk Tuah, under the Betr media company co-founded by Jake Paul.[11]
