I Recently attended the dance party at PP upon my return one night i noticed that Prince had tweeted that he wouldnt perform due to his club being full of T.h.O.T.S,which was then deleted.i looked up the meaning to find it means HOES,which i find very offensive towards the ladies that were there,i didnt notice that there were any hoes there,or am i reading his tweet wrong if so could someone enlighten me.Thanks......

I think you're taking that tweet far too seriously.

Probably a reference to Like A Mack more than anything else.

So you think it was said as some kind of joke ?? I myself am not offended by it being a man i wondered what any ladies that were there on the night might feel about??

Yes. It's obviously the kind of thing that you might expect Morris Day to say - and the persona of Morris originally comes from Prince and his sense of humor. Don't read too much into it.

Ok thanks i thought it might be way to out of line to be taken literally...

Whether people communicate with text speak or acronyms, it doesn't hurt to be polite.

How do you use "THOT"? It stands for "That Ho Over There", right? So do you say "Look at that THOT"? If so, aren't you really saying ""Look at that That Ho Over There"? Isn't that repetitive?

It reminds me of "FKA Twigs". That actually stands for "Formerly Knoiwn As Twigs". Which means, of course, that her name IS NOT Twigs. It USED to be Twigs. So if you call her Twigs, you're not calling her by her CURRENT name. But no one knows what her name is NOW. We only know that it USED TO BE Twigs. That's what she was Formerly Known As. She needs to tell us her CURRENT name, or give us a symbol or something, so we can properly refer to her in the present tense.

Now excuse me while I go yell at some kids that are on my lawn.

Actually THOT can stand for: That Ho Over There, The Ho Over There, Those Hoes Over There and Them Hoes Over There. Now back to this PP party. Did Prince really not perform and later call his new "Purple Collective" a bunch of Those Hoes Over There, publicly on Twitter, no less???

Even more confusing. Saying, "Look at THOTS!" sounds weird and is repetitive. Saying, "Look - THOTS!" is grammatically incorrect because you're saying "Look! Those Hos Over There!" That's a sentence fragment.

Saying "You are a bunch of THOTS!" means "You are a bunch of Those Hos Over There!" WTF? Makes no sense.

I can't think of a grammatically correct way to use "THOTS" regardless if the first "T" stands for "That", "Those", "The" or "Them". And honestly, Them Hos Over There doesn't work in any standard English format.

I have to go now. There's a bunch of teenagers congregating across the street and it scares me.

So Prince sincerely wanting to fuck the taste out of our mouths was alright tho?

Just have a seat right there..k thx

The point is he's 57 years old, not some 22 year old club kid. Knock it the fuck off already.

So certain words should only be used by people of a certain age? What a bizarre idea.

Prince is being too mainstream.. and he seems to be losing himself in the process. He's losing what he believes in. He's losing what he stands for. There's a reason why he became famous: he was himself! That's the most important attribute to him! He use to stand for not following others and doing your own thing: individuality. But now he's saying idiotic mainstream shit like "club full of thots". What happened to his feminism? What happened to "don't you even think about calling her a hoe, you juvenile delinquent!"??? Like always, a walking-contradiction.

Prince and his feminism.

Hmmmm. Theres a conunundrum thats contradicting at every turn.

I applaud the fact that he's steadily given women work and has put them upfront.

HOWEVER. Prince has very clear ideas about women, and I dont think any of them are feminist in their origin.

He is trying though...sometimes lololol

A 57-year-old man (i.e., old enough to know better) calling women 'ho's is just pathetic.

You're never too old to be a hoe, and never to old to call it like you see it.

Either makes you a classless person.

I guess you could say he fought fire with fire.

In what way? What did they do to him? Like he's some kind of holy avenger against ho-dom?

He's just calling people names. Sssooooooo cool, that.
