Define them both please. Avendesora Send a noteboard - 14/12/2011 01:42:00 PM
but I cannot adequately express how much I haaaaaaate the following phrases: "hotting up" and "I was stood/sat."

I saw "hotting up" in The Economist. It makes me want to punch someone in the neck. And you were definitely not "stood" anywhere, unless someone put you there. Bleck.


What the hell? I will assume hotting up is heating something up? Like to make someone riled? Or making themselves desirable?

I've only ever heard stood used as in stood up. My date stood me up.(didn't show up for those who don't know it).

I believe all news and research that supports my opinion, and dismiss the rest as conspiracy and lies.

I suppose they might be completely acceptable, nossy - 14/12/2011 10:06:09 AM 934 Views

I have waited too long and have grown impatient. Someone please confirm urban dictionary definition. Avendesora - 14/12/2011 03:09:53 PM 534 Views

I have no clue what you're going on about. Sareitha Sedai - 14/12/2011 03:13:26 PM 446 Views
I don't know why. It's a perfectly cromulent word *NM* Isaac - 14/12/2011 03:30:56 PM 317 Views
Never used either phrase myself, but they are pretty common. Stephen - 14/12/2011 03:14:56 PM 452 Views
It doesn't sound like that's how it's being used... Sareitha Sedai - 14/12/2011 03:44:39 PM 547 Views
Well, nossy - 14/12/2011 03:51:40 PM 507 Views
That's how I would interpret that statement, yes. Sareitha Sedai - 14/12/2011 04:04:42 PM 509 Views

Nothing with Scarlett in it could be annoying *NM* ironclad - 14/12/2011 05:15:16 PM 270 Views
And yet the evidence would seem to indicate otherwise. *NM* TaskmasterJack - 14/12/2011 10:51:43 PM 231 Views
That's possibly the best perfume ad I've seen lately (and no, not because of Scarlett). Legolas - 14/12/2011 06:54:52 PM 558 Views
hehe ironclad - 14/12/2011 10:11:45 PM 725 Views
I think the Audrey Tautou one is the best recent perfume ad for it has Audrey Tautou *NM* Stephen - 15/12/2011 12:16:42 AM 309 Views
That is a phenomenally poorly written commercial. And they make Scar Jo look less pretty. *NM* TaskmasterJack - 14/12/2011 10:52:29 PM 326 Views
This is exactly what I think. nossy - 15/12/2011 08:27:55 PM 672 Views
Agreed on the last bit, but then that seems part of the point. *NM* Legolas - 15/12/2011 08:56:41 PM 247 Views

They sound like people are purposefully trying to sound cool in an ironic way. But it's not ironic. *NM* Palatine - 14/12/2011 05:34:37 PM 259 Views

We all have irrational angers. nossy - 18/12/2011 02:00:56 PM 464 Views
We do, but it's puzzling to me why this one is so common. Tim - 18/12/2011 02:08:43 PM 500 Views
It's fun, that's why. nossy - 18/12/2011 07:23:08 PM 554 Views
