Well, I think it was purposefully anyways. (btw, he's a Mormon)
- andrewce 16y agoI watched that match back in high school (his streak corresponded with my own academic bowl team's season), and "What is a hoe?" was my response, too. I'd never heard that semantic sense of "rake" before, and felt somewhat scandalized that "hoe" would be a response on national television (while in high school, I felt great affinity toward the puritans).

- philwelch 16y agoDoes anyone else think "hoe" is actually a valid answer there, though? It's hard to tell from Ken's facial expression whether he "purposefully answered incorrectly" or just found himself amused at the situation.
- bena 16y agoHoe is not a valid answer because the other word you are looking for is "ho" which is a shortened form of "whore". Rake, on the other hand, is a homonym.
