I have heard this expression said in these three ways.
Do you know which is correct?

@LTT1 If you mean an expression of "get a move on" LOL, I have heard "hoof it" and "book it". Never "hook it", except maybe in fishing circles HA!

Never heard of the first two but "book it" is very old, slang for hurry. Very....old...lol

have heard "hoof it," "book it," and "lets book." they are all terms to mean
hurry up and/or lets go.
have never heard "hook it" before.....have heard "hook up."

I thought ‘Hoof It” is to walk

Me too for hoof it.
Book it, to me, means agreeing to something like a reservation or a plane ticket. Just plain "booking" means to hurry up.
Hook it--Never heard this one.

Hook it is used in a s*xual way.
Hoof it usually meant to go on foot while book it usually meant to go quickly.
"We had to hoof it when the car broke down."
"Book it-the principal is coming!! (in trying not get caught doing something out of line)
Book it has also been used to speed away in a car. "He booked it right out of the parking lot".
These are my experiences with these terms, fyi. jmoymmv

The only one I’ve heard is book it.

I always say when I have to walk anywhere
I am going to.
Hoof it.
