Yep...not American! So that would make me an Alien due to the fact that I'm not from your country. [spoiler]Assuming your 1) American and 2) Not from Aus[/spoiler] Silly question to some, but Hot Damn, is just A) NEVER ever used in ANY of my dealings in the history of communication with global peeps at Biz level or casual level and B) it seems a little antediluvian and parochial. I heard it used on the Mickey Mouse show once, when my son was watching and being brainwashed - lol. No offense to anyone and sorry for my stupidity...just never got that saying even though I understood it basic meaning, it was the "why of it" and not the "what" that slipped my cerebellum.
