I have a side question...not really related to the start of the thread...

I keep seeing professors refer to students as "hu".

What does it mean?

Thanks!


It's an ancient Sumerian epithet of casual derision.

I don't use it. It's not a word in standard English except for a weird Dow Chemical ad campaign.

I've never seen it used otherwise except on this forum.
