All you need to know about the Hawk Tuah Girl

In June, YouTuber duo Tim and Dee posted an Instagram Reel of one of their late-night Q&A sessions with random people on the streets of Nashville, Tennessee. During the interview, they asked two women an NSFW question:

"What’s one move in bed that makes a man go crazy every time?"

In response, one of the women, Haliey Welch, quipped:

"Oh, you gotta give him that 'hawk tuah' and spit on that thang, you get me?"

In the wake of her unusual and explicit answer, clubbed with her Southern accent and playful stress on the term ‘Hawk Tuah,’ she became an overnight internet sensation and came to be known as the Hawk Tuah Girl.

Since then, she has seen her share of the limelight and traveled across the country, from visiting Hollywood to New York City recently for a New York Mets game opposite Oakland Athletics, where she threw the first pitch.

For those unaware, the expression 'Hawk Tuah' is used as an onomatopoeia and refers to the sound a person makes while collecting saliva and then spitting it out.
