Hey there, jitterbug! Hotch means "to fidget or shuffle around," shifting your weight when you just can't sit still. It came to us via the Middle French hocher, "to shake," the same root that simmered into the mixed-up stew "hotchpotch," and eventually morphed into the jumbled "hodge-podge." The next time a long meeting has you squirming in your chair, just call it a classic hotch and wiggle on! |
