Query for meaning / aug 28 2004

What does the term 'hot date' mean, as in 'I have a hot date' tonight. A check on the group's archives yielded just 4 hits, without making clear the meaning to me. (Is this a part of 'American Speech' unknown/unused in Britain, not that it seems to be prevalent in US either?)

Well, "hot" has come to mean "highly sexual, desirable, exciting," and "hot date" would be date with a member of the gender of interest that has those qualities.
