be a hot sketch (meaning) Hi! What is the meaning of "be a hot sketch"? ‘The big one,’ he said, not looking at me. I tell you, he was a hot sketch that night. ‘I can get her,’ I said. ‘No sweat, calm down. You want the big one or the little one?’ At that time Rita was my best girl (a few years before it had been Betty Grable) and she came in two sizes. For a buck you could get the little Rita. For two-fifty you could have the big Rita, four feet high and all woman. ‘The big one,’ he said, not looking at me. I tell you, he was a hot sketch that night. He was blushing just like a kid trying to get into a kootch show with his big brother’s draft-card. ‘Can you do it?’ (from Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption by Stephen King) Thanks!
