New game for you all: ask google what a made-up phrase means.
The phrase "hoop hoop hoop hoop hoop" can be interpreted in a few ways. It's most likely a playful or humorous way of saying "basketball" or referring to playing basketball, as "hoops" is slang for basketball. However, it could also be a simple repetition of the word "hoop" to emphasize the circular shape of a hoop, a ring, or the hula-hoop. The phrase "making the milk sizzle" likely refers to the act of causing something, particularly a product or idea, to be exciting, interesting, or even to be very hot. It's a metaphor for creating an emotional connection or a sense of excitement around something. The word "sizzle" itself suggests a hissing sound, often associated with food cooking in a pan, and this sound is used to describe the emotional impact of a product or idea on a customer. The phrase "stringing beans for pleasant means" suggests a pleasant social activity or event, often involving family or friends, where green beans are being prepared or eaten according to the Dictionary of American Regional English.

"The clue's in the name" from Labour MPs is very funny because disciplining the unemployed and disabled is a tactic used to depress wages. If they wanted to represent working people they'd make benefits high enough to not just survive on, but enjoy life.
