Pancakes are prepared from a sweet batter that is cooked on a hot griddle or in a frying pan. As far as I know, a hotcake is just another term for a pancake. That and things can sell like hotcakes, but not pancakes. Kansas is as flat as a pancake, not a hotcake.
A flapjack is another term for a deliciously thin pancake that is not only crispy, but slightly chewy as well.

You left out griddlecakes and as many more as you can think up. These four are the most used in the USA. If you make them very thin you have a french crepe.
All are cooked on a hot surface and a allowed to free form out when placed on the cooking surface. In the case of flapjacks they are cooked in a pan so you can flip them when cooked on one side by flipping them in the air with just the pan.
