Hotline (disambiguation)

Hotlines are usually red, because they are red hot.

A Hotline is a line at a high temperature, usually a communication line to an important service, such as 911. In some locales, one must dial 911 by dialing 311 or 1-800. Other services are Poison Control, Suicide Hotline, and the Hotline Hotline. These hotlines must always be open on the phone lines and it is usually a serious crime to ring them up merely to order a pizza.

Hotline can also refer to the following:

Entertainment

• Hotline Miami, an indie game famous for stimulating heavily-violent gameplay.
• Hotline Bling, a song by Drake (the rapper, not the white guitarist from the Nick sitcom).
• A Phone Sex service.

Politics

• A direct line to the KGB in Russia. It heated up during the Cold War, but today it is used mostly for the occasional prank call.
• The consumption of a line of cocaine immediately before doing something important, especially in politics. For example, "the Gentleman from Kentucky and I did a hot line before we marked up the budget."

This is a disambiguation page — words should always mean more than one thing, and we're working hard to ensure that each word you look up refers to at least two completely unrelated articles. If an article link referred you here, you should make it to point directly to the article where you think the confused link-maker thought it would point, or go nuts and pick one at random.
