'Hawk Tuah' Was Predicted 16 Years Before It Happened, And The Internet Goes Crazy

03/12/2024

This time, the term "Hawk Tuah" only means one thing: Haliey Welch.

This happened after seeing instant recognition following the virality of a video, where Hailey is depicted making a sound effect that mimics spitting or expectoration while performing oral sex on a man.

It was just a spontaneous sex joke she made, yet the internet loves it.

Following her fame, Haliey was quick in piggybacking her rising popularity to further boost her personal brand and social media presence.

Now that "hawk tuah" is now an unofficial term to describe a sex act, someone 'somehow' managed to 'predict' this.

16 years ago, someone uploaded a 34 seconds long video, and gave it the title: "Hawk tuah."

The video’s description adds: "20 feet from our living room window a Cooper's hawk ate a pigeon on a telephone pole. This is on Capitol Hill in Seattle."

And people go crazy about this.

How could the person, who goes by the name tomasaurus2 uploaded the video on February 12, 2008, ever had the term in their mind to name a video like that.

The video was recommended by YouTube's algorithm, and after the moment was shared, the video gained renewed attention.

Commenters flocked to the video’s section, amused by the coincidental title, despite the clip being unrelated to the viral TikTok trend.

One viewer humorously speculated that the uploader might be a "time traveler," suggesting they had astonishingly predicted the future 16 years before the phrase gained widespread popularity.

The comment section was filled with similar reactions, with one user marveling at the "perfect timing" and very much "hilarious."

Another laughed at how it seemed the video had been "waiting for someone to visit it."

Another user chimed in with a playful suggestion, proposing the uploader start a podcast, drawing comparisons to Hailey Welch's current endeavors in the medium.

With the internet, which has many of its bits powered by social media and whatever netizens are thinking and sharing, means that most of the people probably just rolled their eyes or shrugged at the fact someone has gone viral over such a moment.

After all, the answer to the question about how to make a man go 'crazy' in the bedroom is to just "hawk tuah" it and "spit on that thang" is what the internet expected and Hailey nailed it.

Hailey has been making headlines ever since.

The woman rose to fame instantly after the video was uploaded, capitalizing on her popularity by becoming a businesswoman, launching a podcast and creates her own dating app, and sparking curiosity as people began sleuthing about her boyfriend, who had "hawk tuahed" her her.

But the modern internet is far from what it was back in 2008.

This is why one of the commenters went as far as to call the uploader a “prophet,” praising their foresight in recognizing the potential of the phrase long before its viral moment.

This, is a "truly a sign of a prophet."
