huck v. to throw, to toss, to short-arm; in disc-based sports, to throw for distance; in cycling, kayaking, snowboarding, and similar sports, to ride over a drop-off. Editorial Note: This term is probably related to chuck ‘to throw with a short arm motion.’ There is a sense of hawk ‘to let fly’ with a single citation in the Oxford English Dictionary.
