I watch too much daytime TV while I'm waiting for my new job.

This question was on one today and I couldn't help thinking that if asked as it is on a US quiz show it might take on an slightly different
emphasis. (Note, just in case you don't know, c) in the UK can ONLY refer to the garden implement.)

Which of the following words can mean a fashionable but dissolute young man?

a) Rake
b) Fork
c) Hoe

Although anyone who listens to rap music (and many who don't) will be aware of the opportunities for confusion.

In the US a hoe is a garden tool; a ho is a tool for seeding.

With all the sticklers after apostrophes, I've always wondered why the older of the two weren't written who'e?
