I would encourage you to look up the meaning of "hottenhot." I just discovered that the history of the word is rooted in blatant racism--white settlers called Quena women in South Africa "hottentots" because that was how they thought the clicks in their language sounded. Pretty insane, huh? I never knew this and used to love the lion's speech.
Think too hard about anything and you'll find some definition of it that will offend you.
