Following a vox pop interview with Tim and Dee TV, Welch became very well-known online. She mimicked spitting and said,
“You gotta give it that HAWK TUAH,” before adding, “Spit on that thang,” in response to a question on how she makes guys go wild.
In order to convey reliability and grit, “that thang” refers to one’s own hand before to performing a rough handshake.
Welch has made clear the intended meaning of the sentence, even if other viewers may understand it differently.
The internet’s unspoken rule that whenever anything gets viral, someone will unavoidably discover a Simpsons episode that seems to have foreseen it was sparked by the clip’s popularity.
