homos

Homo takes a plain -s in the plural, like other clipped words ending in -o such as photos and memos; in its dated North American milk sense it is short for homogenized. In everyday speech, though, homos is mostly heard as an offensive slur for gay people, so the plural is best kept out of neutral writing.

Edited writing spells the chickpea dip hummus, with hommos as an accepted alternative; homos is a misspelling worth avoiding. Its clash with the plural of homo makes it read badly on a menu or in a recipe, where a reader expects the food and may stumble on the other word instead.
