spell check

I was forwarding an email from my (contracting) company's CHRO - Chief Human Resources Officer. SpellCheck offered to correct it to "CHORO". I mistakenly thought this was something edible, but Google says it's a Brazilian music genre (from the Portuguese "cry" or "lament"). It does also find it's an alternative spelling of "churro" (a fried-dough pastry-based snack), so I was right on the food connection. It's also a slang term for excrement of a particular consistency. A rather unfortunate "correction".

Urban Dictionary: chorro (This is the scoop on the poop.)
