hafta 

Deriving from ‘have to’, or ‘have+{infinitive}’ broken down into ‘have+to+{verb}’ but minus the verb, ‘hafta’ works as a verb-modifying adverb taking the place of the modal-auxilary ‘must’ which means literally ‘to be required to __’. In colloquial speech (as opposed to ‘formal speech’ under which you would not use this word{hafta}}, it means simply to have a strong desire towards, or want for, doing {something}, with the ‘something’ usually seen through the eyes of the speaker as a *necessity* (even if in actuality it is no more than icing on the cake).

Synonyms: haveto, have to, must, ’ve to, oughtta{ought to}, wanna\wanta{want to}, gotta{got to}

See also: musta\must’ve(must have..not nonsensical ‘must of’), shoulda\should’ve{should have..not nonsensical ‘should of’}, ta\tta, -ta\-tta, t‘be

hafta 

Anyone, especially a senior citizen, handicapped person, or person with a child or children, that you "hafta" leave a seat on the bus, train, or plane.

It's the weekend, and you know what that means: the bus schedules are all FUAU and every hafta and his dog is getting on the bus to go shopping!

When we get home, I’ll give you an hafta’onet

Hoosier Hafta 

A not-to-be-missed social or entertainment opportunity unique to Indiana, the "Hoosier State."

The Tipton Pork Festival is a Hoosier Hafta every Summer.

The great fire-roasted corn on the cob from the Taylor Township Lions Club helps to make the Howard County 4-H Fair a Hoosier Hafta!

You don't hafta BREAK DA WALL DOWN to get inside! 

What you eye-twinklingly tell one or more workmen who are hammering/prying away siding and/or timbers on a home or business in preparation to making repairs/renovations.

Anytime I come upon contractors doing outside carpentry work at a home or place of business along da main street downtown, I love jokingly saying to them, "You know, guys --- there IS da FRONT DOOR, if you wanna get in so badly! You could just open da door and walk through; you don't hafta BREAK DA WALL DOWN to get inside!" I usually get an equally-smart-alecky reply from them, as well, such as, "Oh, we know that, but we wanna be more subtle about our entry!", or "Yeah, we could, but this way is more fun!"
