Is it hotdog or hot dog? Dictionary.com contends that hot dog (noun) is for the food, but hotdog or hot-dog (to show off) is the verb. Hotdog/hot-dog can also be a noun, but only if it's referring to the person showing off. Make sense? Hot-dog can be an adjective, too, as in hot-dog stand. Keep all of that straight, then.
I'm eating hot dogs.
He's hotdoggin' on his skis. For the ladies.
She's hot-doggin' on the half-pipe.
He's a real hotdog.
She's a real hot-dog.
We'll meet at Bruce's hot-dog stand later, okay?
