“Heaux” is an endearing way to spell “hoe”. You
may use it in place of more vulgar slangs when you are mentioning someone you consider a friend. “Heaux” is not to be used in a derogatory
way as it was born out of the idea that women can take empowerment back from words used so long to destroy them. It was coined by the account “blitzedtodeath” in 2014, they said they made the
word up by trying to find the most exotic spelling for “hoe” to use in its place. “Vultureandmeatbaggamming” popularized the term to the public by using their
twitch platform.
