Catch Phrase Press

These are some phrases my friends or co-workers use that I like but cannot use myself without sounding weird:

"all up ons"
Ex., "He was really flirting with her, he was all up ons."

"hot mess"
Ex., "I like to go on vacation with the Iverson family, they're a hot mess."

"rickety old witch"
Ex. "Come to lunch with me, you rickety old witch."

"Daggers!"
Ex., Person 1: "Uh, there aren't any free cookie samples at Zarro's today."
Person 2: "Daggers!"

I'm going to try and use "hot mess" more often because it sounds so gross! Science fact.

Hot mess still doesn't make any sense to me.

for awhile i was trying to explain the leggings and just-above-ass-length-t-shirt combo to robby. i couldn't find a graceful way to point out living examples when they walked by, so "hot mess" became the alert code. just sayin.

here's the #1 definition of 'hot mess' from urban dictionary. I like it:

When one looks terrible, or acts in such a way that makes them unpleasant to be around.

It is believed that this term originated as an opposite to the term hotness, as they are so close to one another in appearance.

Guy 1: "That new redhead in Data Admin...I have but one word: hotness."

Guy 2: "Yo, are your eyes broke, or what? She looked a hot mess when I saw her."

"that new redhead in Data Admin" is so good.
