Tea room discussion[edit]

Note: the below discussion was moved from the Wiktionary:Tea room.

Can anyone give some usage examples for this, both singular and plural? Is it UK? DCDuring TALK * Holiday Greetings! 18:48, 1 January 2010 (UTC)Reply

Never heard of it; created by SemperBlotto in 2006. I suspect it's not uncountable. In fact, it can't be. Mglovesfun (talk) 18:50, 1 January 2010 (UTC)Reply
I've tried Google Book searching "a hot with", "hot withs" and "hot-with" and I have nothing at all. Some sort of typo by SB? Mglovesfun (talk) 18:57, 1 January 2010 (UTC)Reply
Well done to Ruakh for adding two citations. If I'm honest, neither of them indicate the meaning that well, but I hope we can assume good faith. Mglovesfun (talk) 22:19, 1 January 2010 (UTC)Reply
Thanks. I've added one more, and will follow it up with another in a moment. From the cites, I'm getting the impression that this is actually a postpositive adjective (following the name of the spirit in question), sometimes used substantively (when the spirit is obvious?). —RuakhTALK 18:52, 2 January 2010 (UTC)Reply
