Most of the definitions here are embarrassingly incorrect; hostile means "antagonistic", "contentious", "combative", "unfriendly", "antisocial", "belligerent", "unsympathetic", "scrappy", "quarrelsome," "disagreeable".

Hostile basically means "of or relating to an enemy"; unfriendly or inhospitable.
The homeless man gave me a hostile look as I passed him, but who could blame him? Life on the streets was pretty hostile for anybody.

A word that apparently people think is slang for for something... when its really not. Hostile has simple meanings:

1. characterized by enmity or ill will

2. very unfavorable to life or growth (hostile conditions)

Hostile: Gasoline

Hostility: Gasolinism



HOSTILE (GASOLINE) SCALE:

0-25%: Premium (A little hostile)

25-50%: Midgrade (Somewhat hostile)

50-75%: Regular (Pretty hostile)

75-100%: Leaded (SERIOUSLY hostile! You don't want Leaded!)

100-up%: JET FUEL! (Aahh, I'm not even gonna go there!)
Diesel powered vehicles are more friendly than Gasoline-powered ones, so that's why someone is "diesel" when they're friendly, yet "gasoline" when they're hostile. Here's why:

Diesel vehicles are known to be better in general than Gasoline-powered ones. They have:


-Longer-lasting engines


-Higher fuel mileage


-Better exhaust scent


-Pleasant sound


-Greater towing capacity


-Greater torque


Whereas Gasoline-powered vehicles:


-Guzzle more fuel


-Emit unpleasant exhaust fumes
...And you get the idea.


Did I also mention that Diesel Fuel costs less to make than Gasoline?
