Hork sounds like a corruption of hawk. Like, "hawked a loogie"(coughed up phlegm to spit out) Probably a combination of onomatapoeia and similarity of spelling.
After a little reflecting(no offense to Shadow and anyone else with balding relatives), I realised that I might have heard/read grok before back in the 90s.
Shadow: Hate to disappoint you(or should it be, happy to inform you? :P), but most male-pattern alopecia(baldness) is determined by the MOTHER's side of the family. So unless your brothers(or father) were prematurely bald, unlikely your sons will be.
When I was about 12, I knew a kid younger than me who had rather obvious bald patches in his head. Hopefully for him, it was due to surgery, rather than OOC hormones.
