Why Hooka’ well because I am from Maine, so we add ah to everything. My best friend Rosa has call me this for years. I am alway hooking. Crocheting something or hook in the hair. I would hook any where classes,bus and the bar. Anytime watching tv and football. The nickname really picked up when John started calling me it. We would be Isles a way in the store and he would yell out Hooka’(er) and I would answer back yes hun. The look on people’s face was priceless.
