Horo is a widely known slang term for huora. Basicly the difference is that horo is worse. (Like butt being huora and ass being horo. Yeah we can call whores even worse ) You won't find it in any real encyclopedias but everybody knows what it is.

And hitto is directly translated into damn. That uncyclopedia article for 'nowadays' translation is either untrue or something that only those that study finnish literature would know.

It's not common in anime to find something that is something complitely different in finnish. Mostly these just cause slight snickering and can be thrown away easily. I didn't think for one second that Horo and horo had something in common.

Horo is not a real word so there is nearly zero changes the author would have known it unless he/she (can't bother to check) would have visited Finland and found out it by him/herself. Hope this clears some things up.
