ANY FUTURE use of the term THE CHO (bad ) will result in a penalty as applies in the rules regarding demeaning terminology towards a Saints official, in this case coach, Alan Richoson...
The term CHO can be used, because it means something different under the same source (the urban dictionary) and it is understood that some posters also claim it to be a nickname for Richoson - just like Richo. NO matter how dubious those claims, the fact that CHO is defined differently than THE CHO (bad ), means that its usage is deemed to be OK...
FUTURE USE OF THE TERM "THE CHO" (bad ) WILL RESULT IN A ONE WEEK BAN WITH ESCALATING BANS THEREAFTER...
I repeat that use of the term CHO is permissible. If you want to continue calling our coach CHO then do so...
This decision is final and definite.

So, at last, it’s been settled.
CHOs are good (in moderation). Definite article usage is bad , and so its usage is banned from any future usage on this site! Starting from right now!!! And it’s easy to see why.
Reasoning:
<edited by mods> article is exclusive (bad ), and <edited by mods> St Kilda footy club, <edited by mods> Sainsational forum and Whispering Urban Ted are all into inclusiveness (good ).
<edited by mods> suggested alternative for <edited by mods> term <edited by mods> going forward is <edited by mods> term ‘thy’. Which is wonderfully inclusive.
On a similar vane, to be more inclusive, our St Kilda footy club will no longer recruit or select to play, any player named ‘White’. White is clearly exclusive (bad ) if we ever want to recruit players named Black, Beige or Rainbow.
‘Banger’, ‘Simon’, ‘Plugger’, ‘Joffa’, 'Saynta’, Dragit’, ‘De-Groucho’, ‘Stinger’, ‘Voldemort’, ‘Logan’, ‘Lazar’, Joffaboy', ‘Lyon’, ‘spunkboy’ and yes, especially ‘Ted’, are all acceptable terms to use on this site – providing they are not used in conjunction with <edited by mods> definite article. (Bad. )
NB: ‘Plugger’ is not an acceptable term to use if combined with ‘66’.
‘Lyon’ and ‘spunkyboy’ are never acceptable to be used if combined with each other. (Puke!)
And of course, 'Rodger'' is always an acceptable term to use, regardless. (Swoon. )
It is very important to be inclusive, and to be civil. Reports have been received showing that, contrary to common belief, some members of <edited by mods> RiChoson family do read Saintsational.
Fortunately, they display a sense of humour.
For those who may be wondering where all <edited by mods> fuss originally came from, everyone's favourite blind faith optimist, Whispering Big CHO Ted, has very generously released an explanatory video. Hopefully this clears a few things up.
Thank you Whispering Big CHO Ted.
And thank you fellow Saintsationalists for you understanding. (Good ) If there are any outstanding matters that anyone is uncertain of, Simon, Whispering Big CHO Ted, Lazar and myself, can all be found at <edited by mods> address under my avatar. Feel free to pop in for a chat.
And remember, be good, because wherever you are, whatever you’re doing, Ceiling Cat is watching you.
(And watching Hitler. viewtopic.php?f=2&t=96666&p=1769405#p1769405 )
Thank you everyone.
Love (and chocolates),
Aeon.
