To Hork Or Not To Hork

For most of this year, Jordan has enjoyed using and saying the word "hork." Believe me, I've looked it up and it's actually out there. It's not in any of the printed dictionaries as far as I know, but it *can* be found in a few places online. Unless any one of you can tell me otherwise, its strongest representation is found on an Urban Dictionary website. But how and where did Jordan pick this up?

I'll get to that in a minute --

What pushed this subject to the forefront today was listening to Jordan's recitation of a poem she had written for a current English assignment.  The poem (*surprise*) is about wolves, her chosen topic.  In one of the lines, Jordan had written the word "hork," as in "The wolves were horking their food."  Oh dear me.

So right after she had gone to school this morning, I did a search on the web for the word. And whuddayaknow ... "hork" was mentioned in the movie Ratatouille!
