What's scary is that "ho" is relatively new, compared to much of the rest of the english language. At least in it's slang use.

So what happens if, in the future, the word "store" becomes a derogatory term of some kind. ("she's a store, you can get anything from her!")
Will every store in the US have to change what they're called so as to not offend someone? What if it's some other semi common word that becomes a popular slang? Do we just ban the world from using those words for ever more so that someone doesn't get their little feelings hurt?
