| Summary: | hot My mother, Mrs. Myrtle Brown, (formerly a B(r)anton of St. Jones, a settlement whose inhabitants all moved to Winterton in the 1930's) uses the word 'hot' instead of 'heat' in such cases as: I'll hot some soup for dinner. I hotted the gravey. The water is hotting on the stove. This does not mean that something is being cooked or baked, merely being warmed. . N.B. I feel sure that this usage only applies to food or something related i.e. it would not be used in referring to heating a house or a room.
