Meaning of a Phrase

[Carrot44]

Was wondering where the phrase "Hot to Trot" originally came from anybody know?

 

[Talon]

I'm not sure how accurate this is or how it got it's current meaning. In old Scotland, livestock rustling was rampant amongst the clans. It was also considered a greater offense to not help a neighbour recover their livestock. The pursuit of a thief was called a hot trod and refusal to participate in the pursuit was punishable by hanging without trial. According to this site (6th paragraph), the phrase hot to trot is thought to have come from hot trod.

Crown Royal is expensive because of the pretty blue marble bag.

Seriously, if anybody is still interested, I believe it pertained to sulky racing. The horse has to be warmed up and must trot only or is disqualified.

Sorry if this blew any sexual fantasies (unless you love horses)

Of course, Talon could be right also.
