What does HOOKA mean in Scrabble?
noun
informalrare
A variant spelling of hookah, a water pipe used for smoking flavoured tobacco through a long hose.
Drawing on a hooka pulls vapour down through a water-filled base before it cools and reaches the person holding the mouthpiece, giving a softer sensation than a cigarette. The device originated in South Asia and the Middle East, where communal sessions around a hooka remain a social custom, and it later spread into cafes and lounges elsewhere as a novelty. Hooka is simply a less common way of spelling hookah, and the two forms name the very same object rather than different pipes. Cafes that offer a hooka often set aside a separate seating area away from ordinary tables.
