I have a great friend who uses the term Hot Mess pretty frequently -- whether it's a party at the ZaZa, a patron at Bar A, or just a "situation" that has the community talking. It never fails to make me laugh. So I headed over to Urban Dictionary to get the low down on this slangy slang.
Behold:
Someone or Something that is such a mess... the level of it, is off of the charts. It's past pathetic, past pitiful. It's to the point you almost have to walk away to keep from bustin a gut. Hot messes can exist in levels.
i.e. Hot Mess, Hot Fuckin Mess
Oh my God, y'all a HOT MESS!
My point here, and I do have one, is that we still start instituting a HOT MESS section on this blog, presided over by a guest editor with immaculate standards and a keen social eye. Check back soon!
