I want to remove an incorrect translation. How do I do that on this protected page ? --Fenring 08:44, 29 July 2009 (UTC)Reply
- I unprotected it. 9 months in a row seems enough for me; of course, it can easily be locked again if necessary. Mglovesfun (talk) 12:04, 29 July 2009 (UTC)Reply
Tech support desk talks about "a hot issue" when it's one that is being reported by many users (and thus needing an urgent fix). The closest sense we have for this seems to be "popular; in demand", which sounds overly positive. Equinox ◑ 15:06, 7 March 2013 (UTC)Reply
adv: in an eager, intense, or angry way
They argued hot and long.

I don’t think any of the current senses include the meaning that ‘hot’ has when one says ‘I was hot on his tail’, ‘he was hot on my tail’, etc. Overlordnat1 (talk) 14:15, 5 November 2021 (UTC)Reply
- Actually adjective sense 6 covers this, I’ve just added a usex (though perhaps we could do with an entry for hot on ones tail or hot on someones tail?). Overlordnat1 (talk) 09:16, 28 February 2022 (UTC)Reply
I just created hot cargo but now realise that "hot" may stand alone in a sentence, like this:
- 2012, Arthur Webster, Down To The Sea: A Merchant Mariner's Story
- They decided that all cargo was hot and the ships would not be worked. Not even foreign flag ships would be exempt from this secondary boycott.
Perhaps worth adding into this entry at some stage, if we can find more examples. Equinox ◑ 03:52, 19 November 2021 (UTC)Reply
heard what might be this today ... " on the hot" for some boys practicing a sport in the parking lot; that is, the hot top. But maybe it means hot zone and is sport-specific (but i'd expect in then). i will try to find more information. a third noun sense is the hots. —Soap— 13:25, 1 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
