had the hots for

ホームレスだったThe Pursuit of Happynessの主人公はやっと家賃の安い家を見つけ、そこに住めるようになりました。
My good friend Latrell Hammond insisted that I come get the five pound of neck bones she had just bought that day. What the hell, I'd never cooked neck bones, but I went and got them just the same, figuring that I'd have some OJT in the kitchen, and then I went out to buy a secondhand freezer. At the grocery store, where the butcher, Ms. Tookie, had the hots for me, I got some helpful hints on the basics.
