- "Are you going to go to that seminar? Forsho!"
forsho
interjection; blending Blend of for and sure.
Used as a way to agree to a claim or request. Can be used as a replacement for the more popular "fosho" which omits the r. Used as a shorter way of agreeing to a statement, mainly to sound cool or to say it in a more efficient way. Can also be used in a phrase known as "Ho forsho" which is used to describe a female that is participating in sexual acts promiscuously with many people. It is used in this sense partly because of the rhyming effect that it has on the phrase, but it can also be used in other contexts as a means to agree with a statement.
