would be hot except for his hair??
I pull up a grainy picture of Dara and Ariana--at least, I think it's Ariana, although she's wearing so much makeup and the picture quality is so bad, it's hard to tell--surrounded by guys who must be in their early twenties at least. One of them has his arm around Dara; he's wearing a cheesy leather jacket and would be hot except for his hair, which is thinning, and gelled into spikes. I wonder when this was taken, and whether poor, brokenhearted Dara was with Parker at the time.

I would like to know what does "hot" here mean. Handsome ? Thanks.

Answer

The word "hot" here (and sometimes as slang in English) is used as another word for attractive. Or handsome. Here it is describing a male, but it can be used for males and females. If you are familiar with the English word "sexy" it is similar to that, but a toned down version.

Answer

Hot is more 'sexy' than 'handsome'.
