Why do people say this? I understand its usage back in the day as a friendly, jokey how-do-ya-do, but shouldn’t it have died along with saying “gee willikers” and “in tha house”?
It’s summer here in Southern California. which means if you’re on the wrong side of the mountains (where the mountains are to your left instead of the ocean) then you’re in an ugly sticky bowl of tin foil. Not a pleasant humid friendly outdoor cooker like 100 degree weather in Texas… no. Southern California’s 92 is worse than a Texas 102 any day (except maybe Friday). and in Texas, a “hot enough for ya?” carrys the same kind of yester-year casual-howdy that it’s intended to. In California, you’re just being a dick.
No kindly old man says “hot enough for ya?” in California. jerks say it as a way of complaining about one more thing in their terrible Malibu mansion stressed out life.
Hot enough for ya? no. i grew up in an oven, so i’m not happy until the flesh is literally baking off of my bones, but thank you for asking if the current heat is sufficient for me.
if i said no, would you have turned the thermostat down on the fucking sun? or are you just taking a survey?
go kill yourself. thx
