Pun on the word "hospitality". Refers to interminable drinks/social occasions which you really don't want to attend but have to be there.
Me: We have been invited to the neighbours for some hostility tonight.
You: Oh no. Not the Smiths! It took us weeks to get over the last visit.

It's largely performative.
Hym "The hostility is a direct response to the thing you're doing. It isn't a hostage situation. If I put a gun to somebody's head told you to spin around and clap your hands 3 times; you would just do it. It takes nothing for you to tell the truth. I'm illustrating a point. You're doing what you're doing because you are counting on me being subject to some sort of morality that you are ALSO claiming that I don't have AND my lack of this morality is justification for doing what you're doing. You don't see that? Which is why the exploitation question is stupid. I can do the same thing. Look, 'If you love kids so much why are you trying to provoke me into killing them? If you cared about kids you wouldn't be doing this to me.' See how that works? See how that isn't the gotcha moment you think it is? You're just being a piss-pants because I said your thing doesn't work as well a 7 iron. Which it doesn't. Much to David's chagrin, if a woman likes smoking weed and they like fat cocks; they are going to choose the guy with the fat cock smoking weed in his mother's basement 100% of the time. So, if you entirely omit this statistical reality then sure. If you omit all of the information that PROVES THAT I AM RIGHT, then yeah your thing is fine. Do you see how that works? Quit being a piss-pants. You're in your feelings more than the people actually involved. And don't humanize yourself. It's gross."

When you accidentally run over a hooker on your way to college and she starts to kick your car door.
Amy: “How do we get rid of this hostile hooker?”
Person 2: “ Don’t worry she might die from all the pills she ingested today, what a dumb hoe”

(BUSINESS) when a corporate raider attempts to take control of a corporation against the will of the management. Takeover requires a leveraged buyout typically financed with junk bonds.
HOW IT WORKS
The corporate raider requires a takeover vehicle to launch a hostile takeover. The takeover vehicle is usually another corporation controlled by the raider, although in recent years ESOPs have been used (e.g., Tribune Corp., 2007). The vehicle buys up a lot of shares of the target company's stock on the market, then announces it wants to acquire a controlling interest.
Management opposes the takeover bid. It can (a) challenge the legality of the takeover, (b) adopt a charter that makes it hard for the takeover vehicle to run the company it's proposing to buy (a poison pill), (c) seek another buyer that is more favorable (a white knight), or (d) borrow a ton of money and buy so many shares that the stock price goes up.
The raider makes a tender offer for the shares he doesn't own. At a certain point, he may acquire sufficient control that he can legally challenge the target's management to step down.
WHAT CAN GO WRONG
The management can use (a) or (b) successfully, or it can use (e), viz., launch a hostile takeover bid of the target vehicle. The raider can lose of lot of money if a lot of shareholders have accepted his tender offer.

Prior to 1980, the hostile takeover was unknown; banks would never lend money for such a scheme. For one thing, the risks were ridiculous. For another, "success" would hurt way too many people.
Everything changed when Michael Milken revolutionized the junk bond market, allowing raiders to attempt deals that violated sound business judgment. The defeated company was compelled to pay for its own conquest.
