howay

North-Eastern, or Geordie, slang meaning 'come on', 'hurry up' and so on. Voice intonation specifies the exact definition, often not understood by anyone outside of the Newcastle area and thus causes much confusion for non-natives.

HoYay

Noun, abbreviated from 'Homoeroticism, Yay!' The phrase originated from the television programme 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer,' and is used most commonly in various internet fandoms. It can also be an exclamation of glee.

The word is used to describe a homoerotic or homoromantic subtext between two characters, generally on a television show. Where one sees HoYay is, of course, extremely subjective, though in some cases it can be canon, not just subtext, as in the episode of 'Angel' wherein Spike says 'Angel and I were never intimate... apart from that one time.'

'Did you see "House" last night? The HoYay was palpable!'

'Those two totally bring the HoYay.'

'Ahh! HoYay!'

HoYay!

HoYay! is an abbreviation for 'homoeroticism yay!' - which is why it often retains an exclamation mark. Refers to subtext between two (usually heterosexually identified) characters. Its first major use was in the Smallville fandom, referring particularly to the Clark/Lex sexual subtext.

"From last nights episode I think the directors are seeing the HoYay! goodness in the show too!"

Hozay

How one might spell the name, "José" if they can't spell Spanish names.
The spelling, "H-O-Z-A-Y" is because it sounds just like that when spoken.
