What's the usage of "hott"?
What's the usage of "curling"?

I'm used to these words in the following context:

"Be careful! That CURLING iron is HOTt!"

I haven't seen 'hott' (and remembered seeing it) but I've seen 'hawt.'

I recall seeing "hott" a lot around five years ago or so. Maybe it's retro?

Several people have commented that curling is basically Crokinole on ice. I'd like to watch it some time but I have no idea when it's on. (Is there some way to tell Tivo to record just curling games and not the rest of the Olympics?)

Ah, curling is so popular, you can find knock-off online games of it.
