Brash talented person
A hot shot is someone who's impressively skilled or successful, often with a note of arrogance or showiness: Some hot shot lawyer from New York took the case.
The term can be admiring or dismissive depending on tone.
In drug slang, a hot shot is a lethal injection—heroin cut with poison, sometimes used to kill intentionally.
