A term used to describe a hot person. Derived from the saying "She's so hot you have to take her out with
oven mitts." This term is reminiscent of old sayings like "
the bee's knees" or "
the cat's pajamas." Since its creation, it has been adapted to refer to anything that is very good or cool.
About a hot person:
Terrence: Did you see that smokin' hot girl
freak dancing on me?
Nicholas: Yeah she was the mitts.
About anything:
Daniel: Dear God. Look at the size of that
broadsword. I must have it.
Nicholas: Yeah, that thing is the mitts.
