Replacing ‘Hottie’

June 3rd, 2007

Let’s face it — the word hottie is sort of un-inspiring.

Over time certain words have evolved in the English language and other words have cropped up to my completely surprise and disdain. But among all these such words, I have always been most surprised by the word hottie. Not only is it a lazy way to form a word (adding the -ie and that’s it), but it also just doesn’t seem to work as a stand-alone “he’s a hottie” or “she’s a hottie” phrase.

That’s why, today, I’ll be replacing hottie.
