What it means
A hottie is either someone seriously good-looking or, in Kiwi and Aussie talk, a hot water bottle you fill from the kettle and lob under the duvet. Context does the heavy lifting, because saying you need a hottie tonight can sound flirty or just desperately practical. If it’s ‘brass monkeys’ outside, you mean the rubber bottle, mate.
Usage examples
"It’s freezing, bro, pass us the hottie for the bed. She laughs, Sweet as. Thought you meant Jess. Nah, I’m not that brave."
"Her new partner is an absolute hottie, the whole group chat went quiet when she posted the photo."
"Grab the hottie out the cupboard, my feet are like ice blocks and the heating is on the blink again."
