What does “Hotty Toddy” mean
The full chant — 'Are you ready?' / 'Hell yeah! Damn right! Hotty Toddy, gosh almighty, who the hell are we? Hey! Flim flam, bim bam, Ole Miss by damn!' — has been documented at the University of Mississippi since at least 1926, when it appeared in the student paper as 'Heighty Tighty'. It functions as a hello among alumni anywhere in the world; if a stranger says 'Hotty Toddy' to you, you say it back.
