Yeah, you're right there, musick, about objections being a kind of fight.

I was using the expression 'you can't fight it' more as a light expression, such as when someone might say, 'You can't fight this heat..' or as a shoulder shrug of resignation. For the record, I don't like the sound of 'hotting up' at all. But then I didn't like the sound of my daughter having referred to 'hotties,' which just sounded plain silly.
