On NPR I heard this:
“I had no idea there was a difference between a male hoe and a female hoe…”
And I totally had a giggling fit. (She was talking about the gardening tool of course.)
The word makes me laugh. 10 years ago in college we’d drive around with all our friends in our VW vanagon and one night, late a bunch of us were headed to the campus library for something??? Couldn’t have been to study… anyway Suzie, the only one of us who was an actual graduate at the time and working as an elementary school teacher taunted this girl who was taking her time crossing the parking lot we were trying to park in (from inside the car where she couldn’t hear) “Come on, ho, move a little faster.” It was so out of character and so perfectly punctuated, I can’t help but laugh about it still…
