22 Jump Street Question

I saw this today and in the scene where Jenko talks about his anti-gay sentiments in high school I thought he said, “I was such a homophone.” I laughed but no-one else in the cinema did. So did I mishear the line or was I right? And if I didn’t mishear it why didn’t they use that line?

I notice that I was also the only person to laugh at the first “anals of history” although everyone got is second time.

That’s how I heard it too. It was an intentional misuse of “homophobe”. Cute but probably went by too fast or over most viewers’ heads.

I only really use my phone to play a gardening simulation game. It’s my HoeMowPhone.

I’ll see myself out.
