hate hoot

To verbally hoot at someone whilst pointing. Used to jeeringly mock and belittle someone. The origins of this practice stem from the Shelbyville folk in an episode of the Simpsons (GABF08 - The Seven Beer Snitch) who mock Springfield folk by hooting at them.

One foosball team beats another and rightly gives the hate hoot: "Hoot hoot hoot hoot!"

Other team: "Man we suck"
