“prostitutes”

Wow! Talk about a stretch!
First of all, I doubt that the Ebonic Dictionary even defines
a link between “ho’s” and women who charge money for sex.
A “ho” is ghetto slang for “woman”. All women are “ho’s”.
Just listen to any hip hop trash lyrics. No mention of price.
“Nappy” is a term originally used to refer to the texture of
fabric and carpeting.
In the strict translation of the words, these women are exactly as described. Nothing more.

You just don't get it. "Ho" is short for "whore."
