Hot diggity (I’m waayyy too young to have used this term) used to describe something great. I would hear my mother say “hot diggity” when she was quite pleased with how something turned out or went her way. On a rare occasion, she would say “hot diggity damn” – this was reserved for something extra special, like finishing a puzzle before Doug had a chance to swipe a piece, keep it hidden, then “finish” the puzzle himself.
I have learned a new form from my daughter: the bomb diggity… This term is used to describe something or someone really cool, large, phat, awesome, etc. For example, Shaun White (the red-haired super snowboarder) is the bomb diggity!
Funny how each generation thinks they invented something new, when, really, they just reclaimed it from the recycle bin and shined it up a bit :-)
