LOL! That was good. And it comes with, pardon the pun, comics 
Honest, I am NOT a Ho!
I'll bet you think you have problems, hmm? Well you'll feel a lot better after you hear about mine.
Oh the stress, the humiliation! I ranted and raved and fumed and complained! I strive to be professional. I do my best to present a refined air of writerly sophistication. But sometimes that isn't enough. Sometimes I just can't help making an ass of myself.
But this time it wasn't my fault. Well, not entirely. I blame cultural differences. You-you would too...wouldn't you?
The whole ugly, unfortunate incident is detailed (and artfully illustrated) on my blog in the post titled: "Did that Writer Just Call Me a Ho?" http://bit.ly/mMbGS7

RedAdept, Debi, JR & Patricia--thanks for letting me know you enjoyed reading about my mortification!
JR--how lovely of you to tweet about it! So I unfollowed one Scot on Twitter and now I'm following another. Good trade off, I think!
Thanks Marguerite! ...Let's not tell anyone I paid you to say that. ;-)

Thanks so much, Chumlyb! At the risk of revealing my Paleolithic origins, I remember Louis Nye on the old Steve Allen show when I was a kid saying "Hi ho, Steverino." So I guess it was a common expression here in the US too at one time. And now I'm sitting here smiling because I'm reasonably certain 99% of the people here are scratching their youthful heads and going "Louis Nye? Steve Allen? Huh?" LOL
JR: Where were you and your handy translation skills when I needed you? LOL
Thanks very much, Mike! I'm on my way...

Cleverly done.
As a Brit I'll have to be careful where I use that phrase. Have also learned to write tidbit instead of titbit when addressing Americans after a heated discussion about the correct spelling. Seems that Americans are a bit coy about using titbit (a morsel).

Didn't the Lone Ranger say something like, "Hi Ho, Silver' before galloping off to the save the day?Daisy Dexter Dobbs said:Thanks so much, Chumlyb!
