A hot mess= a mess that is so bad it puts of its own heat. Do you not watch Clean House?

Hot southern mess is a good lookin woman that's hard to handle or outta control. When a child is a mess it means they are outta control. It probably depends on context and culture. It's not a derogatory term in the South. My grandmother told me I was a mess a lot. It can also mean a lot, as in a mess of greens.

Dear White People a hot mess has nothing to do with attractiveness. It is not a compliment.

I pointed this out earlier but need to reiterate in my agreement with PP. The "hot" is NOT about attractiveness. It is about the degree of difficulty in cleaning up the mess.

When my DD has snot running down her nose and she's crying and lying on the floor, I do refer to her as a hot mess. I think it is hilarious--not that she's crying, but the whole hot mess thing.

Bizarre that you presume to know posters' race.

Stop over analyzing. It is just someone who is fucked up. Usually their appearance but sometimes their attitude or situation. Some DCUM posters are a hot mess.

It's a phrase that has its roots in black culture, "you look a hot mess" and was not a compliment. It was later coopted by semi-trendy young women in a way to refer to themselves or each other in a self-deprecating fashion. At this point, it is overused to such a degree that nobody with any cool factor would use it anymore. Now it's used by suburban worker bee types who carpool to the city, get a spot out front, and cry "rock star parking, girlfriend!" and think starbucks is the best thing to ever happen to coffee.

It was slightly clever four years ago. Now it's hackneyed.

Next up: amirite, I know right?

Unrelated but likewise overused phrase: snowflake / special snowflake / precious snowflake

+100000. Once white people adopt a slang term, the cool factor bites the dust.
