Hanks

A lost love or Mitten either left or right.
Attributed to the American actor comedian Tom Hanks and his fascination with a lost glove or mitten and posting a photo of it on social media with a sincere anecdote.

I saw a lost Hanks on the way to the store and somebody was taking a photo of it...it was very peculiar.

Hanksorcism

On occasion a man may find himself with the malady of making involuntary Hank Hill sounds, which results in the necessary efforts to remove the Hank from the afflicted body immediately.

Example of the signs of a needed Hanksorcism:

Person one: *Tickles person two*

Person two: "Bwuh-huh"
