to detest the word "hottie"?

[emkana]

well am I?

Hottie?

I may be missing something, but IMO it is a hot-water bottle (according to my Nan, anyway)

I suspect this is not what you are getting at

no you most certainly are not!

I guess it depends if you are considered a Hottie or nottie
What would your prefer term of endearment be ?

i was named an MN hottie.

whilst i was flattered by the compliment, i really didn't get it at all.
surely hotties exist only on posters in 1950's sailors bunks

Hate it. Along with 'fit' and other such meaningless drivel
