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

I heard Hook it in the termenoligy to steal something.

@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!

@BeccaLou Interesting how we have different meanings - I would assume by region. Hook it to steal is one I've never heard. I've heard hark, hit, and of course the five finger discount.

Go to urbandictionary dot com. Great resource for slang.
