Buying A Garden Implement

We needed to buy one of those gadgets for removing weeds, so we went to Lowe's after church Sunday. Unfortunately, the tool in question--called a "hoe," once upon a time--seems to have been renamed as a "garden implement." I fear that many young people are only familiar with the rap homonym for this word--perhaps the powers that be at Lowe's are afraid that giving the tool its proper name would cause too many facial muscle injuries to their younger employees.
