How it's used
Originally describing something boiling hot, this term is now primarily used to describe someone who is visibly and intensely furious. It carries a sense of heat radiating from the person, similar to the English idiom of someone being hot-headed. While it can technically refer to sexual arousal, using it in that context is highly informal and potentially offensive, so it is best avoided unless you are very familiar with the listener.
Examples
He gets extremely angry as soon as he sees the customer.
Why are you so fired up? Calm down a bit.

Common mistake
Do not confuse this with 㷫, which is the standard way to describe being angry or feeling heat. 慶烚烚 is an emphatic, colloquial reduplication that specifically highlights the intensity of the emotion or state.
