"Hot" refers to the phrase too "hot" to handle. similar to the expression that car (or anything) is hotter than Hades. One I can't figure is the term rubber check, or bounce unless it refers to the check will bounce back to you because the bank won't honor it. I think I answered my own. MMMMMMM

Because some idiot who had the first check that was ever made proably set it on fire.
