If your house caught on fire and then you caught on fire, would you then say Ich bin hei�?

According to the dictionary of the English language, the word hot not only means having a relatively high temperature but it also means capable of burning, scolding, or searing. So can't ich bin hei� also mean I'm hot like I caught on fire or gleich ich gekriegt an Feuer. The true meanings of the word hot in German are hei�, warm, scharf, hitzig, fetzig, radioaktiv, and zugkr�ftig and when you literally translate all these into English you get hot: hot, warm sharp, heated, fiery, hasty, pionate, hotheaded, and on heat at least, literally fevered, radioactive, crazy, wild, peppy, zappy, and catchy and when you add meanings of hot to hei� from the English dictionary you get German words like hei�, feurig, flammed, rig, heftig, vehement, leidenschaftlich, eifrig, stark, gewaltt�tig, geweltsam, brutal, gewaltig, t�tlich, handgreiflich, hart, kr�ftig, rabiat, grell, �berm��ig, kr, elementar, tief, l�stern, gierig, beflissen, eilfertig, gesch�ftig, dienstbeflissen, emsig, diensteifrig, neu, frisch, stechend, bei�end, penetrant, durchdringend, streng, bitter, �tzend, sarkastisch, w�rzig, pikant, gepfeffert, gesalzen, radioaktiv, and strahlend. The English dictionary on the IQuest says nothing but horny which in German translates to geil, not hei�, by the way.
