I know what a Pop-Tart is, I was asking about the
semi-ho part. I have never seen that show in question
as I do not get cable. I have occasionally seen some
cable shows at other peoples houses but not that one
unfortunately. So, I would never have guess that it
was short for "semi-homemade". It's funny, though.
Thanks for the explanation.
