I've heard this word before, but had NO idea of its meaning until today's AWordADay post...

hotsy-totsy (HOT-see TOT-see) adjective, also hotsie-totsie...Just right; perfect...[Coined by Billy De Beck, cartoonist (1892-1942), famed for his comic
strip "Barney Google and Snuffy Smith". Another of his coinage that has found a place in the English language dictionaries is heebie-jeebies, meaning jitters or creeps...

reminds me of "toodle pip", hehe. hmmm - I can't see how it is inspired by the parent of that sex ... hehe, no offence to him but my pappa is not a harrison ford, a keanu reeves or a nic cage *ROFL* try homer simpson who doesn't mind working *LOL* ... and change the doughnuts to sweets and the beer to coke *ROFL* Voila!
All the best Zara...
p.s... I knew you'd have heard of them ... just not their poetry.

I've usually heard it used sarcastically, 'Well, isn't that hotsie-totsie.'

My fav dictionary entry is "Granny dumping" I am not kidding you - Websters, look it up. I was bored while playing scrabble and on the back of the dictionary was a list of newly added words... mostly computer terms like RAM and ROM but granny dumping... def. was something like leaving an older relative somewhere, like a bus station or mall.

ROFL!!!!

granodiorite was the closest I could find to Granny dumping. "a granular intrusive quartzose igneous rock intermediate between granite and quartz-containing diorite with plagioclase predominant over orthoclase"

Now if I can have it translated to english... Hotsie-totsie. thats me. lol
