Pronounced [HAATTA] Plural: HITEET or HATAAT is a relatively new Iraqi slang word that is usually used by a girl when referring to a girl that he finds appealing for him. The word's origin is from the southern Iraqi city of Basrah, where it actually means 'hooker'. The word is predominantly a guy term and is considered crude and while not vulgar, is not considered appropriate when talking formally or with girls.

Uses: Man, that girl is one hot ticket, she's a hatta.

Hey, is your hatta coming with you for the party?

Usage in Popular culture

Hussam al-Rassam has two songs where the word hatta is used: "They say your friend is drunk" in which the phrase: "They said your friend is a kamush, who spends his money on the hatatt." and "I had a friend before, he didn't have a dinar in his pocket, but he went to a country, where he played on the strings, and he took himself a hatta, which requests by the dollars."
