"Hot and bothered": different meanings US/CA/UK?	by Route	2003-01-04 12:50:56
Either, depending on context, but ...	by swisscheese	2003-01-04 13:20:13
... the meaning of being upset or angry (AFAIK ) is quite a bit older. The sexual conotation seems to be more a recent meaning -- at least as far as general use goes -- and started out as inuendo. I can remember it being used derisively to put down a co-worker who was seen as a little "uptight" or excessively rules-conscious. Said worker was protesting some departure from official safety procedure that was considered an unneccessary inconvenience for any one not an "old lady" or "goody two-shoes" You can still use the expression in FYOS-safe circustances. (wasn't there a discussion on that topic just a month or so back?)
