Brit' Word of the Day
Todays BWOTD is very commonly heard back home:"She just got all het up about it for no reason"'Het Up' = Agitated or flusteredThis would have been exactly how I'd describe myself last Friday when 2 of the 'minor' (thankfully) awards were not at the Assembly! Guess what - yesterday I found them casually sitting exactly where they had been all along, in MY awards folder instead of my bosses!!

Haven't heard this one yet. *writes it down*
It must come from "all heated up." No one's perfect, but you're close to it as a secretary!!!
See, my grandmother used to say that. That's what has been so interesting to me about some of your Brit words is that they're words I heard from my grandparents and great-grandparents growing up. Though they all talked like the Arkansas country people they were - their "way back" roots were British Isles - Irish and English.
Enjoy your blog. I am an Okie who loves all things British!! Particularly MINI Coopers! What part of the state do you live?
I get all het up a lot ..
Heard of it, but it's not something I've ever used. Love your BWOTW by the way!
Oh I love that word :)) and how Kat wrote it down!
LOL! I had no idea that was a Brit word; I thought it was a hick word. Someone once made fun of me for being a hick when I said "het up" so I've been careful to never say it again.
