It took me a second to correctly analyze the sentiment of “hot shit.” I realized it means “really good,” as opposed to, for example, “steaming pile of shit” which means the opposite.

It also generally has the connotation of someone having an inflated opinion of themselves.

The expression “shit hot” is a superlatively good thing. I don’t ever recall hearing “hot shit”, although perhaps it is a US term or a modern usage. Urban dictionary defines both.

"Hot shit" is a US term, and it is old and was around in the 80s at least.

Longer than that. I saw it in a book from the 1950's.

I expect it's a variation of "hot stuff" which I've heard in songs from the 1930's.
