/Sounds like "HOH" (as in "hope") + "toh" (as in "toll")/
A derogatory Mexican term for a gay man. Its origin is in Mexico City's Lecumberri prison, where block J housed gay inmates. Today it is considered an insult, though some within the community have reclaimed it among close friends.
“They called him that slur at school and he went home crying.”
“In some circles friends use it without offensive intent, but coming from a stranger it is still an insult.”
