The word is used in different ways. Sometimes it is simply used as an exclamation. However, in the past few decades that expression has also been brought into use as a slang word for a woman of ill-repute, 'ho' being a substitute for, or variant of, the word 'wh*re'.

Although some social groups use this term frequently with reference to their women friends and female companions, this does not change what the word actually means. Most women would be very offended to be called one.
