Re previous correspondence on 6dn
Waste in Diplomatic Corps restricted (6) the answer suggested was CLOSED
I suggest CHOKED as an alternative as HOKE is waste (=rubbish or garbage)
No, hoke is given by Chambers as a derivative of hokum, with the specific meaning of to overact or to give an impressive facade or appearance to. If it has another meaning, its absence from Chambers rules it out, I'm afraid.
