Does 'Hotting up' exist?
The more widely used one would definitely have to be 'heating up', and I've never even heard of such terms like 'hot.ting' or 'hot.ted'. But I checked the online Merriam-Webster dictionary and they had it in stock so that left me quite perplexed. I'm only raising this question because they used the term 'hotting up' on the front page of an English newspaper.
So is it 'hotting up' or 'heating up'?
I believe I know which paper you are talking about... I was asking myself the same question. Checked in Encarta Dictionary (on PC), and "hotting" (noun) is a slang for showing off with dangerous stunts in a stolen car. The context on the newspaper was referring to contest for a political seat "hotting up" with more candidates vying for that seat.
Found on the Free Dictionary by Farlex online, "hotting" is also a transitive verb (informal) meaning "To cause to increase in intensity or excitement".
Perhaps it's the opposite of "cooling down"?
