Hot-Shop

Name: Hot-Shop Mug
Brand: Urban Dictionary
Price: 32.95 USD
Availability: InStock

A warehouse or small business that serves as a front for the barter and sale of stolen, or "hot" goods. Once relatively common in the northern metropolitan areas of America(c. late 19th century-late 20th century), these shops have all but vanished, due in large part to the overall weakening of organized crime.

"My connection in Brooklyn gave me the address of a hot-shop that sells cigarettes and booze at less than half the regular retail price!"

Hot Shop

A hot shop is a business which treats its employees that bad, that it's almost about to explode. It is a slang of trade unions to describe one of two cases:
1. Without the need of professional organizers the anger of the employees has reached such high levels that they have organized themselves, and are about to sign up for union membership.
2. The only thing that keeps this business running is the bad pay, unpaid overtime hours, and sacrifice of the workers.

AFL: You won't organize that hot shop, would you? If it's going out of business, its workers will be unemployed!
CIO: If it only exists to exploit them, it deserves no better. Hold my beer!

Syndicalist: Don't send Steve! That’s the guy who screwed up the hot shop.

Back when I lived in upstate new york

A meaningless, unimpressive, self-serving introduction. An indicator that the story about to be shared will be pointless and dumb.

Back when I lived in upstate new york, I also had to park on the street - on two occasions, we got enough snow, mixed with just the right plowing, that my car was lifted off the ground from so much snow being jammed underneath it.

TLDU

Acronym, meaning Too Long Didn't Understand
Similar to TLDR

Sister: This meeting was to discuss the rough draft of my essay, where we discussed the subsidiary questions I added in my rough draft. We also discussed the relationship between my main title and the real-life situations I chose to use in my essay. We discussed the structure of my essay as well, specifically the Math AOK section and how it relates to the contradiction of the title. This second meeting was particularly helpful in discussing the implications of my essay claims and how to apply the title across various areas of knowledge. There were many sections of the essay that could have been cut down in wordiness and the ways of knowing required further and more in-depth analysis.

Me: Woah! TLDU!
