On a completely non-school related note, I am happy to say that the phrase "a hot mess" has been successfully taught to our British teachers, Slovak and Dutch friends. Thanks to Matthew, the phrase was intoduced to explain a person whose life seems to be all over the place. We then explained the different functions of the phrase to mean someone who is wearing a terrible outfit with equally bad make up, or someone who has clearly not showered/looked in the mirror for a long period of time.
Our British teacher, Dan, used it in correct context yesterday during class (proud teaching moment!) and my Slovak friend, Zuzana, just used it to describe our other Slovak friend, Tatiana, who is indeed a hot mess at the moment.
