Okay, I'll do it...
You hit very close to the mark when you mentioned ebonics. it is a
result of that damned and discredited program, as well as the rap and
hip-hop culture, that way too many young black men refer to all girls as
"hos." The word is a corruption of whore, you pronounce it just like
Santa would "ho-ho-ho." That it's use is so common is just another
commentary on the degradation of society as Bill Cosby as said.
Given that, I guess a loose translaton of what the t-shirt actually
means is "Literature First, Sex Later."

I guess I am officially "old" now. I didn't get what
the shirt was saying until I read the product write up. I kept looking
at it wondering "What does 'Prose before HOSS'---hoss pronounced like
'Hoss' on Bonanza---mean?" I guess I need to brush up on my written
ebonics skills.
getting grayer and grayer with each passing moment,
