been asked before, but not this question, so don't get all het
up)  Posted by Lotg on February 06, 2004  Yes I did find this in
the PF browser and some other places too. And I know that 'het'
is derived from hot, and it means not to get all worked up or
heated up, etc. etc.  What I'd like to know though, that I
couldn't find, is where it originated. It sounds like something
that would have come from America. But am I wrong, is it older
than that, or from some other beginnings?
