Several TV shows from the past decade, such as Two and a Half Men, The Office, and How I Met Your Mother have had a deep impact in popular culture by introducing a myriad of terms, slang, and rhetoric to a national audience. One of the more interesting examples from these shows were jokes aimed at macho culture, such as How I Met Your Mother‘s “The Bro Code” mocking the pseudo code of conduct for the interrelation between men. These shows had immature male characters who often used the phrases “Bro” to denote men, and “Ho” for women, a play on the immature male stereotype the show made fun of. And, combining these two childish terms, they made various phrases popularized, such as on Two and a Half Men, where the two lead male roles, Alan Harper and Walden Schmidt, get called “Bros without Hos” after marrying each other. So, when Republican Senator Kirk of Illinois had an open microphone in a Senate Appropriations Committee hearing on Thursday, his reference of Senator Lindsey Graham as a “bro with no ho,” may, shall we say, raise some eyebrows?
