Australian Santa Clauses are getting briefed this year on ways they can possibly corrupt children, and one of the chief problems, so it's said, is his use of the phrase "ho ho ho".
As the term "ho" is a derogatory slight toward prostitutes, Santas in Sydney have been instructed to say "ha ha ha" as an alternative in an attempt to be less offensive. My favorite quote from the article, uttered by Julie Gale, "who runs the campaign against sexualising children called Kids Free 2B Kids":
"Leave Santa alone."
Seriously. Dude has been "ho-ing" for years.
