A wad of mucus that has been brought up from the lungs. The act of a deep, productive cough followed by spitting out the wad of mucus is called "hocking a lunger", where "to hock" is a modern wearing-down of the original "to hawk". Those suffering or recovering from pneumonia can hock frequent, prodigious, and frightening lungers.
