An Australian and New Zealand slang phrase meaning to attack, tackle, or dig aggressively into something — whether that's a person in a fight or a plate of food you've been looking forward to all day. The agricultural imagery of hoeing into earth translates naturally to any vigorous, committed effort. Context matters: you can hoe into an opponent in a brawl, or hoe into a massive bowl of pasta with equal enthusiasm.

After the hike they all hoed into the pizza like they hadn't eaten in a week.
Origin: Australian and NZ slang drawing on agricultural imagery — hoeing being vigorous, determined physical work applied by extension to any energetic attack or consumption. Editorial expansion authored on Slangora (model-assisted, hedged).
