Hackleberry

Very rare. Cousin of the dingleberry, a hackleberry is a klump of crap that connects more than 5 hairs on your ass joining your cheecks together like allies.
Back in '94, I heard Frank got a hackleberry that forced him to miss his company's golf outing.

Huckleberry Friend

Evokes someone with whom one has a carefree, innocent, hopeful, gentle friendship. Bucolic wanderers and dreamy wonderers. Those with which to share a sun-drenched youth.
"As a child, Johnny Mercer, (lyricist of the song 'Moon River'), picked huckleberries (like wild blueberries) in the summer. To him, the berries had a personal connection with a carefree boyhood, strengthened by association with Mark Twain's character Huckleberry Finn. The implication was that Holly Golightly, who was actually of hillbilly stock, and Huckleberry Finn might well have been friends, if ever they had met." from 'Love Me Tender: The Stories Behind the World's Favourite Songs' by Max Cryer.

Oh, dream maker, you heart breaker
Wherever you're going, I'm going your way.
Two drifters, off to see the world
There's such a lot of world to see
We're after the same rainbow's end,
Waiting round the bend,
My huckleberry friend,
Moon River, and me.

huckleberry

"Huckleberry" was commonly used in the 1800's in conjunction with "persimmon" as a small unit of measure. "I'm a huckleberry over your persimmon" meant "I'm just a bit better than you." As a result, "huckleberry" came to denote idiomatically two things. First, it denoted a small unit of measure, a "tad," as it were, and a person who was a huckleberry could be a small, unimportant person--usually expressed ironically in mock self-depreciation. The second and more common usage came to mean, in the words of the "Dictionary of American Slang: Second Supplemented Edition" (Crowell, 1975):

"A man; specif., the exact kind of man needed for a particular purpose. 1936: "Well, I'm your huckleberry, Mr. Haney." Tully, "Bruiser," 37. Since 1880, archaic.

The "Historical Dictionary of American Slang" which is a multivolume work, has about a third of a column of citations documenting this meaning all through the latter 19th century.

So "I'm your huckleberry" means "I'm just the man you're looking for!"

hangleberry

When you're on the toilet going number two, that last piece of poo that just won't come out. It just hangs there no matter how much you sway, until you can finally exert enough force to pinch it off.
"Man, I had the worst hangleberry at work the other day. I think everyone there knew I was having a hard time dropping the deuce."

Hackberry Hammer

The Texas Hold 'em starting hand 7-5 suited.

Although the specific reason why the hand was named for the small Cameron Parish town on LA-27, the name is said to have been initially made popular both at the Lake Charles Isle of Capri poker room and in several homegame circles in Southwest Louisiana and Southeast Texas.

A weaker, speculative hand that is beleived by most to only be profittable in certain situations, such as many players to an unraised pot, and in late position, the Hackberry Hammer will rarely find glory on the felt. Regardless, the novelty value of the ambiguous nickname at least gives some players a second thought when peering down at the 7c5c, 7s5s, 7h7h, or 7d7d.
