hotpants

Very brief bottoms

Hotpants are very short, tight-fitting shorts, typically worn by women.

The style emerged in the early 1970s as a fashion statement emphasizing the legs and hips.

The term can also describe intense sexual desire or the person experiencing it: He's got hotpants for the new neighbor.
