Frocking was a slang that referred to the sport of racing through the streets of Mos Eisley, a city on the planet Tatooine, and yanking back the hoods worn by Jawas, one of Tatooine's native species. Mos Eisley's street urchins enjoyed the activity.[1] Years before 0 BBY,[2] the Human male Falk and Rodian male Doda Bodonawieedo engaged in frocking during their youthful days.[1] By that year,[3] the Jawa Nebit hated being frocked.[4]
