A Wouff Hong is a fictional tool used to "punish" Amateur Radio operators, who demonstrate poor operating practices.
On page 11 of the 1930 Radio Amateur’s Handbook, it reads:

OPERATING TIP#1
Popping into the Mic is caused by close talking and p's and s's. Humorous demonstration.
SOLUTION #1.
Talk into the TOP or BACK of the Mic. do not worry. we will still hear you fine.
