Was Marty about to say “but you’re so hot” to his mom when he first sees her when she’s young?

I’ve always thought so but I wonder If He’s saying something else and that’s not the case

There's no way to know if "hot" was the exact word, but it seems clear it would have been complimentary of her appearance in some way.

Not trying to feed any weirdo's incest fantasies, but Marty saw his mother as something other than the unhealthy alcoholic bitter lump of a woman he knew.

Pick a word: hot, young, attractive, beautiful. Could have been any of those.

I can't find a photo to confirm but I always thought he was trying not to say "so thin" because I remember her as being overweight in her middle age in his original timeline. He quickly said "young" instead.
