On Tuesday night, Jimmy Kimmel Live aired a prerecorded clip featuring Game of Thrones David Benioff and D.B. Weiss, who used the platform to apologize for what happened on Sunday night. (Spoiler warning: Hodor died.)
But they’re not sorry for killing off Hodor, per se. Instead, they’re apologizing — while sitting amidst piles of cash — for all the “annoying” individuals who will start saying “Hodor” on the elevator. “Hodor” is, as we learned on Sunday, short for “hold the door,” and Benioff and Weiss are worried that people will start utilizing the abbreviation in everyday conversation for the sake of being cute.
