You know, I think Ken answered that as a joke intentionally., If you follow him on Twitter, you'll know he can have a naughty streak in his sense of humor.

A whore accepts money for sex. How is that the same as "Immoral pleasure seeker"? Choose slut (female rake?) or whore, one can't be both (maybe in her free time a whore could be a slut). Although I would have probably come up with the same (wrong) answer. But ho doesn't have a different definition than whore, so yeah. Wrong answer.

@jeffgrever That's business not pleasure. If you think otherwise I highly suggest you try the job.
-
definitley shoulda been hoe
-
i woulda said hoe aswell

Nor am I a "grammar Nazi." I have not concerned myself with sentence structure or syntax. Word definitions are not "grammar." Ken got it wrong. Hilarious moment. He went on to clean, so to speak, everyone's clock, as a Jeopardy champion -- just not at this moment.

@MidnightOutlaw Just because no one uses the definition in the vernacular, anymore, doesn't invalidate the definition. A hoe is a garden implement, or tool...but all across the Internet, at the beginning of the 21st century, "hoe" is used as a derivative of "whore." It's not correct. Neither can I find a definition of "whore" which involves seeking pleasure. If I was wrong about this, Alex and the judges would have awarded the question to Ken.

@mtrenchandeminem You've made that abundantly apparent.
-
But...when I saw the answer that's the question that immediatly came to mind. It's a perfectly valid responce.
-
@AegisNova I understand learning english, but to be fair - Nobody uses rake to classify someone as an immoral pleasure seeker anymore. It's basically a dead association. Bloody grammar nazi.
a rake is an immoral pleasure seeker? Hoe is a WAY more accurate answer...lame.
