Not me: I do. That is, if I hear "hoe" in an ambiguoug context, depending on who's sayng it, I'll more likely think of a hoe than of a ***.

"Hmmm... would that include 'Ho Chi Minh' and the city named after him? The city hasn't been called 'Saigon' since the end of the Vietnam War, er, sorry, Conflict. What do *you* call that city, Joey? :-)" "Ho-Chi" kinda flows out all in one breath, in the same way that "Bangkok" does, so I don't associate it with street hoes; just like I don't think of assholes when I say/hear "assassination". But, at any rate, I usually just refer to Ho Chi Minh as "Saigon" or "that terrorist city" when I need to talk about it. DE781 Apologies
