This is like the water pipe that was used in Alice in Wonderland. Also used by a lot of people to smoke their hashish. Where did you hear it?

A hookah is not a hooker, although someone may not know and use the word to describe a hooker, dropping the "er" and using an "a."

A hookah (Arabic: شيشة; Hindustani: हुक़्क़ा / حقّہ) is a multi-stemmed, often glass-based, water pipe device for smoking; originating in India, it gained fame under the Ottoman Turks. A hookah operates by water-filtration and indirect heat. It can be used for smoking many substances, such as herbal fruits and tobacco. Depending on locality, hookahs are known as other names, such as a shisha/sheesha, water pipe,

This is a device used to smoke with; it is basically the same thing as a bong. I believe it originated in India!

A hookah is a water pipe for smoking tobacco (among other things). The hookah sits on a table, and the smoker uses a hose to partake of the smoke.

okay... AHH the almighty hookah bong!

Can be made from alot of things... its a bong tho.. a hookah is used for smoking hash, or marijuana, the hookah bong was actually originally invented on accident when a person from India had no transportation of water, so he used his bong, then decided to make it into a hookah, for smoking, when he realised that the marijuana hit better than before, the man took his creation to some big high government official oor sum crap, and the official concidered this man a genious of the time... Thus granting him a new house and all that cool stuff... the hookah bong has a good history behind it.. its my fav. kind too!

A hookah is a smoking pipe with three different places to smoke out of. It kinda looks like a gene bottle with tentecales.
