Dyou reckon that video is hot?
2.

3.
sexually excited or aroused. The adjec-tive has always been used in this sense, both literally and figuratively.
She's hot for him.
Talk dirty to me. You know it gets me hot.
4.
provocative, obstreperous. In this sense the word was defined by one of its users as 'acting too obvious' and denotes a transgression of the unwritten codes of behaviour of adolescent gangs. The term was recorded in use among North London schoolboys in 1993 and 1994.
