What Does Hoe Mean?

The word “hoe” is a bit different from other internet slang words and texting phrases because it is not an acronym. While one might think “hoe” is literally a “garden hoe”, or a tool used in farming and planting crops, the meaning here is completely different. One should exercise caution when using this word outside of a very casual environment.

In the modern setting, a “hoe” is someone, generally a woman, who is promiscuous.

That is to say that they have a lot of sexual partners or are not very picky when it comes to who they choose to have sex with. It may also be used for someone who may not actually have sex with a lot of people but give off the vibe of being somewhat trashy, low class, or easy to sleep with. It can also be applied to men as well as women.
