Captain save a hoe means: A man who spends an excessive amount of effort and money in seeking the approval or affection of a woman, usually a promiscuous one, despite receiving little appreciation or reciprocal regard.. There is no real cause for parental concern; it is descriptive vocabulary rather than risky behaviour. If your teen uses it, context will usually make the intent clear. A short, curious question about where they heard it is usually all that is needed to know whether to follow up.
