I called my '89 an esaycho until I sho'ed up at a SHO meet and met all the guys with their SHOs. Thing about calling it a SHO and not an esaycho is that license plates like SHOTIME and FREQSHO and whatnot make a lot more sense when it's pronounced like a work and not said as initials. :)
Back in the day, S.H.O. may have stood for Super High Output, but lacking a High Output variant of the Yamaha V6 or the Taurus "super" seems unnecessary. I think Ford now officially calls it the SHO to discourage the association with Super High Output, too.
A friend of mine with non-SHO Taurus commented on this phenomenon, so now we call her Taurus a Gull. Because it's a GL. Heh.
