what does "they hawked and swore" and "******' " mean?
Over the back fence, nearer the
creek, lived an old couple whom Dexter and Athena had never seen but
whom they referred to as Mister and Missus ******’. They drank, they
smashed things, they hawked and swore and vomited, they cursed each
other to hell and back.
Does "they hawked and swore" mean "they shouted cursed at each other"?
I don't know what does "******' " mean? Is it rude word?
I want to know does "Fu**in'" hear used as rude word?
Sorry I wanted to write "here" not "hear".

hawk, for me, can be used as a variant for spit, like "he hawked up a major loogie", so I would read "hawk and swore" as "spit and swore", but I am not positive that would have been the intent of the author.
yes, the F word is pretty much always a swear word, whether it is to eff, go eff, eff yourself, eff off, effing, or whatever.
