More south

So I'm in AP now, that is, Asset Protection, for Walmart. I wear normal clothes, watch people steal, and bust them at the door. It's a lot of fun. I have a new boss and she's a blast! I've been picking up all kinds of new lingo I never knew existed. Among my favorites is the phrase "hot second." Like, "hang on for just a hot second," as if that means, give me a short amount of time? But in a different context like, "are you sure you want to wait, I'm gonna be a hot second," it means I'm gonna be a WHILE. I don't know... Then there's "I'm not trying to be hateful but..." and it's followed by something mean or, hmmm, hateful. It's incredibly amusing. My absolute favorite though, is, "She (or he) is a hot damn mess." WHAT DOES THAT EVEN MEAN??? I have no idea. Sometimes it's affectionate, or sometimes its...hateful. :)
