“Boro” as in The Tri-Boro Bridge and Queensboro Community College.
But only when expressed and/or spelled that way as part of another word, huh?
And never anywhere else as just, "boro", as a single word in and of itself, huh?
I realize English can be difficult, especially for people raised in a sub-standard, nearly non-existent, educational environment, but trust me on this, the use of the word "borough" has existed in The English language since the "Five Boroughs of the Danelaw" established in the 870's. ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Five_Boroughs_of_the_Danelaw )
The ONLY other mention of any alternate spelling was "burhs" or "burg" which were Old English developments of the Proto-Germanic word reconstructed as burg-s, cognate with the verb berg-an[1] ("to shut in for protection"). ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burh )
But you couldn't have known that, right? It's not your fault. I don't blame you. It's the schools there.
And, by the way, one of the examples you provided?
On a certain level, he's actually an impressive example, almost platonic ideal, of a product of that environment. I would expect nothing less.
When someone has not arrived at their conclusion by logic or rational thought, logic and rational thought will be of no use whatsoever to convince them otherwise.

For such, nothing that comes from west of the Hudson river (or east of the Atlantic Ocean) has any value to him and therefore isn't worth knowing.

"Boroughs"
As in: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boroughs_of_New_York_City
And AH was from Austria, but somehow he still managed to transcend that minor setback.

And you are STILL wrong. The two are not mutually exclusive.
No, it's not. Except by lazy ignorant niggers. Are you, perchance, an lazy ignorant nigger?
Only as a part of another word. Not as a separate and distinct word.
In the English language, since 870AD.

That extra "-ugh" was just too much for them.
Not surprising really, when you think about it.
Calling someone names doesn't negate the truth. Except maybe in grade school. Second grade must have been hard.
By all means continue through life in ignorance with my blessing.
