That pseudo-connection to a Finnish "engfinnish-word" has me wishing that the spellng Holo rather than Horo had caught on despite it being incorrect romaji.

I agree -- I much prefer Horo... (after all if you LISTEN to how she says it...)
I've just gotten one too many stupid "whore" jokes in the last few days over a character I enjoy and its making me grouchy rather than mellow. Linguistically, I've always found lame jokes about foreign words that coincidentally sound similar words in other languages to be.... well, juvenile.

Can also appreciate the feelings on the jokes about Horo's name. Really just gets you annoyed when a character you like gets that kind of treatment. Names are bound to have less than flattering meanings in someone's language if you look hard enough. It's a good name. Anyways, back to something more relaxing. Horo has great pics out there .

So do I, but her dialect and the fact that she's from "the north" (Scandinavia if we're assuming this takes place in Europe) makes this a bit less of a stretch than usual. But rather than making it easier to understand, it kinda just makes it more annoying.

Not that I care and besides the posts are interesting, but most of what we (including self) are talking about should really be in the Horo discussion thread and not here^^
Back on topic here is the crop teaser of the pic I removed Spoiler for NSFW:
PM me if you want the whole thing^^

Here's a lame attempt to put the Horo "as a Finnish insult" thing to rest --> I moved it over to the Horo's World thread where it seemed to belong. Obviously it won't put it to rest, but it will give someone information to assess the people who keep trotting it out

When I hear "Holo," I think of holograms, which in turn, makes me think of a particular hologram: |
