What is a Hoe?

from TV's Jeopardy!

Trebek's answer was "this term for a long-handled gardening tool can also mean an immoral pleasure seeker." The expected question was "What is a rake?" but all-time champ Ken Jennings delivered a terrific double-entendre, made all the sweeter no doubt by his commanding lead over the other contestants. His Mormonism and aw-shucks persona contrast with this response.

Jennings' book about his Jeopardy! experience, which delves into the American subculture of trivia, deserves an MMM recommendation.
