North American slang for a sexually promiscuous man — the male equivalent of the derogatory ho. The term is used informally, sometimes as a critique of double standards (since promiscuity is judged more harshly in women) and sometimes simply as a straight descriptor. The register is informal and can be used with varying degrees of disapproval.

He had quite the reputation as a man ho before he settled down.
Origin: From man plus ho (a shortening of whore, common in AAVE and hip-hop slang). Editorial expansion authored on Slangora.
