What does 'honk the boof' mean as Canadian military go viral on TikTok?
TikTokers on the video-sharing platform have been left confused by the phrase “honk the boof” which has gone viral thanks to military stars. It seems as though every week, a new trend or phrase goes viral on the platform as its predominantly Gen Z users attempt to stay up to date with the latest goings on. The most recent viral phenomenon has seen the revival of some old slang that has left some younger users baffled as to its meaning. What does “honk the boof” mean? It all started when American TikToker and a military man @onexpunchxdad pointed out in a clip that his Canadian soldiers in the forces can “grow beards and honk the boof”. In the clip, he joked he was “switching sides” from the US to Canada and the video has been more than 113,000 times, leaving many viewers stumped.

As he laughed, he said: “Bro, honk the boof? The name wasn’t the funniest part. It’s that I know exactly what he’s referring to when he says ‘honk the boof’. “Thank you for giving me a genuine belly laugh. My God.” @mandatoryfunday #stitch with @????????????? he remains undefeated. This had me audibly laughing for at least 4 minutes. #military #veteran #army #navy #marines #airforce #coastguard #spaceforce One confused viewer commented: “Someone explain honk the boof real quick cause I’m not 100 per cent sure.” Another asked: “What does ‘honk the boof’ mean?” All was revealed, as it was explained that “honk the boof” refers to smoking marijuana since Canada legalised cannabis in 2018. In Canada, weed is legal for both recreational and medicinal purposes and is regulated by the government. It remains illegal under federal law in the United States.

A meteor which exploded over the Atlantic had similar force as Hiroshima atomic bomb
A meteor exploded over the Atlantic Ocean at a force comparable to the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima during the Second World War. While this may sound like a scary prospect, there is nothing to worry about as this asteroid did not actually hit the Earth. The debris burned up at a height of around 31 kilometres above the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of Brazil, experts say. Data from NASA showed that the meteor appeared to release the equivalent energy of around 12,000 tonnes of TNT - that's approximately 12 kilotons of explosive power. Sign up to our free Indy100 weekly newsletter Similarly, the Hiroshima Bomb detonated with an approximate energy of 15 kilotons – that is, 15 thousand tonnes of TNT equivalent. This force caused devastation in the Japanese city and killed at least 80,000 people instantly, with tens of thousands dying later due to radiation exposure. Although 12 kilotonnes does sound like a lot, there have also been other explosions that have had a higher number than this. One example is the 450 kilotons of explosive energy (0.45 megatons) released as a result of the Chelyabinsk meteor back in 2013 - 26 to 33 times as much energy as the Hiroshima Bomb. The house-sized asteroid exploded 14 miles above the ground and generated a shock wave that blew out windows over 200 square miles and damaged some buildings. Over 1,600 people were injured in the blast, mostly due to broken glass, according to NASA.
