At Christmas a few years ago, my Chinese friend whose last name is Ho had two banners hung up on the railing of their balcony. Each banner said “Ho Ho Ho.” So between her two parents, her three siblings, and her, there was one “Ho” for each of them. I wanted them to stick Post-Its with their names above each “Ho.”
That’s sad. Really sad.
Worse than altering the lyrics to White Christmas to make it more compatible with someone’s ideals for Christmas Eve. (Real lyrics–“I’m dreaming of a White Christmas”, suggested new and improved lyrics–“I’m praying for a White Christmas”. Great. Let’s make God sound like a cosmic weatherman, who will bring us snow if we just pray hard enough.)
(Aside–the above anecdote is in response to a proposed instrumental performance of White Christmas in a church service “late” on Christmas Eve. Not online recreational outrage. Not sure what the timing of the service is, so I don’t know how late it actually may be.)

Well, let’s examine this, shall we? Obviously, “Ho, Ho, Ho” is now too offensive. Is it too late to move back to “Slut, Slut, Slut”?QUOTE]
The new saying just revert back to the original Ole English “Whore, Whore, Whore”
Or back a bit further to, “Slattern, Slattern, Slattern.”
“Trollop, trollop, trollop”?
ETA: Sounds like what a horse does.
“Tart, tart, tart”?

Fat old fuck never brought the three whores he promised me, either.
Is this some new front in Bill O’Reilly’s (pseudo)war on christmas?
Wait, WHAT? blinkblink :eek: :smack:
Someone has been into the eggnog a little too early, methinks. :dubious:
This totally made my day
(Emphasis mine.)
When I lived in Oz, more often than not the US-based firms in Australia created major fuckups with its Australian staff in Australia. I’m betting there’s a translation issue going on here between the home office and OZ, coupled with some fuckwit and clueless Aussie manager at Westaff. That and the politically correct far left crowd in Oz.
I’d say your assessment is spot on. Westaff spent most of yesterday backpedalling along the lines you’ve indicated after it was subjected to general ridicule.
“Tramp, tramp, tramp” the boys are marching
Driving behind a car today. It had the plates “C Santa” on it, and a bumper sticker that said “Got toys?” The guy driving it was by far the best Santa I have ever seen. Thick white long beard, half glasses, big belly.
Drove like a frickin’ maniac, though.
He’s nothin’ without his reindeer.
I said to bring the POSSE!
Isn’t that from the Holy Grail Christmas Special ?
ETA: HoHo’s, Dingdongs, Twinkies, yeah I’m kinda whorish
<SNL> “A Christmas Warning: Should you encounter a man in a red jacket shouting “Ho Ho Ho”, before approaching make sure it is a sidewalk Santa and NOT a pimp drumming up business” </SNL>
Just thought I’d update 
Having heard a snippet of Britten’s Saint Nicolas last night, I’m reminded that Santa should more properly be associated with three women who would have been hos if it weren’t for him.
Eh, I sleigh me.
