Hi,
I have got a silly question to ask of you. I am sorry. But I would like to know when people say:
Hot (diggety) dog! or Hot ziggety (dog)!
- why the ‘hot dog’ can refer to a sense of ‘Wow!’?
- what is ‘diggety’ or ‘ziggety’?
Thank you.

There are no silly questions when it comes to learning, Haihao!
I’m learning this with you:
Thank you, Conchita, and I am really happy learning this from you.

“Hot dog!” can mean, “Wow!” because anything hot is exciting, I guess.
“Diggety” and “ziggety” don’t have any meaning. They just make the exclamation “hot dog!” more emphatic.
One strange thing is that I have often heard people say “hot ziggety” without “dog”, but I’ve seldom heard people say “hot diggety” without “dog”.
Thank you so much again, Jamie. Here you gave me everything I wanted.
Haihao
