Maybe he was pointing at people when he said it

Maybe he was pointing at people when he said it

Or bouncing kids on his lap.

My point was that this instance has become an international story and talking point. I had to explain to workmates that Ho was slang for whore and women in general in some cultures. Another tabloid tale of "political correctness gone mad," in others. Wasn't it the banning of christmas decorations in workplaces last year? Then I pointed out a house with an illuminted Ho Ho Ho among the trimmings and asked "Is that a brothel?"

Talk about keyword hijacking?

Don't you know, it's rude to point.
