hoof it

(slang, humorous) dancing.

A humorous slang coinage for dancing, playing on the word 'hoof' (to walk heavily, or to dance, especially tap) combined with the '-ology' suffix to mock-academicise something trivial. Used tongue-in-cheek to describe dance as though it were a serious field of study. The word thrives in playful, self-deprecating contexts — someone joking that they're practising their 'hoofology' before a night out, for instance. It has the energy of 1920s-30s American jazz-era humour.

(slang) To eject or expel.
