Archaic name of Atlanta, Ga. used in the same sense as "Christiana" (Oslo) or "New Amsterdam" (Manhattan). After the Leo Frank incident it was decided that more civility was needed, thus the institution of neo-traditional placenames.

Refers to the large amount of crime and corruption in the Atlanta metropolitan area while having some of the largest ghettos in the United States. It is hot in the same way a stolen firearm is. For example, Orlando is never called Hotlando and is arguably hotter.
Did you hear public schools in an entire county lost accreditation due to corruption? Welcome to Hotlanta.

Refers to Atlanta, Georgia. Possibly the stupidest term used to rep the best city in the world. Nobody from the ATL ever actually uses this term.
Some Yankee: So I hear you're from Hotlanta. What a stupid name!
ATL Person: Yeah, 'cause people not from here's what made it up. *lays the smack down* Repin' the ATL, fool, wat!
