HO GUM

NOUN: A whimsical game played at the Hoplex [see Century 16] or any other area densely populated with hoes. At a mutually determined time, all players must insert an agreed upon object (usually a vessel containing some defined condiment) into their respective mouths and masticate until completion (or, according to regional variations, until the dissolution of said interior condiment).

Involves three levels or phases of increasing difficulty; although items may vary based on location, a traditional round consists of the following stages:
1) Sugar and/or Sweet'n Lo packet.
2) Coffee Creamer
3) Tea Bag

Established 1998. Rumored origins as a method to avoid socializing with Ned Stanley (and other impeached elected officials).

VERB: Inflected forms: Ho gummed, ho gumming.

PHRASAL VERB: Ho gumming it; procrastinating, dawdling.

Hey. They misprinted our tickets for Pleasantville. Let's ho gum it!
