An interesting prompt to discuss today, when we think or discuss about hot, there can be multiple context that can be looked at. Firstly, it's the temperature, like the weather, With the hot sun blazing through and the effects of global warming worsen day by day. Yes, we are constantly on the lookout for way to cool down, escape the heat. Thus, we do have a good tendency to be saying "it's not so hot now"

Another scenario when hot is a commonly used word is when we are talking about trend of stuff. Whether if the particular item is still the popular item today or what is the trending item today in a certain category. People might be asking what's the hot item today for plush toys? Now, this has got nothing to do with temperature like our earlier context, the item can have no temperature at all but we can still use the word hot. It might not be hot item today, but any changes of event can turn it into a hot item tomorrow.

Let me quote an example to illustrate, Labubu plushy was something I am unaware of till Black Pink members were reported to be carrying it and soon everyone around me were talking about it and memes were all Labubu. I am not sure if it's not so hot today compared to it's peak.

What do you think?
