The act of clearing your throat is indicated by the slang onomatopoeia "hock", or "hack", and the resultant mucus as a "loogie" (lugie). This is sometimes a combination of drawing up phlegm and then expectorating or spitting, with the sound "ptui" (ptooie).
Both of these acts are simulated by the word sounds, as is the term "hacking cough".
Addendum:
There is also the resounding "splack" as the hocked/hacked loogie hits the sidewalk immediately following the "ptui."

How do you spell loogies are the same thing as phlegm?
Delightfully, you have spelled this word correctly. I would think that these and phlegm are more or less equivalents--while static, that is. In actual use, however, it is more likely that one would fling loogies as one hacked them whilst one would merely hack up phlegm. In other words, if it isn't projectile it is not a loogie. Hope it helps.

What is a loogie?
A "loogie" is a thick ball of phlegm that forms in the trachea or bronchial tubes, and is coughed up. To cough up a ball of phlegm and spit it out is colloquially called " to hock a loogie" or "hawking a loogie" (from the characteristic sound of expectoration, and related to the verb "hack" meaning to cough).
