red hot
Extremely heated or popular
Red hot describes something heated to the point of glowing red—metal in a forge, embers in a fire.
The phrase extends to anything intensely hot: The sand was red hot under our feet.
Figuratively, red hot means extremely popular, urgent, or exciting: red hot gossip, a red hot stock tip.
A red hot is also a frankfurter, especially at ballparks.
