Hot and bothered
意味: Flustered, agitated, or worked up — either from embarrassment, frustration, or attraction.
'Hot and bothered' describes a state of visible agitation where you're flushed, flustered, and unable to think clearly. It has two main flavors: frustrated ('she got all hot and bothered about the parking rules') and attracted ('he gets hot and bothered every time she walks by'). The 'hot' can be literal — blushing, sweating — or figurative.
