'Whock' is a transitive verb, not reflexive.
'to whock' : to murmur to, to address a lullaby to, sometimes employing a implement. Benjamin Harrison (once US president): 'I whocked that golf ball a good 325 yards for an easy putt." Babe Ruth (baseball notable): 'I try to whock the ball as hard as I can. It does a body good.' Beowulf: 'Hwock. Hwock!'
