*Totty* is British slang used by men to talk about women they find sexually attractive — treating them as a group of bodies to look at rather than as people. "There's plenty of totty in here tonight." It is uncountable, so it does not take a plural, and that is part of why it stings: it turns individual women into a quantity, like beer or weather. I am teaching you this word so you can recognise it, not so you can use it. It is offensive and , it belongs to pub talk and to lads' magazines of the 1990s, and it now sounds both crude and dated. A man who says it in mixed company today will be judged by it. It also has an old, occasional use for attractive men ("a bit of male totty"), usually said jokingly, but the ordinary use is the one about women. If you want to say someone is attractive, English gives you plenty of ordinary choices — *attractive*, *good-looking*, *gorgeous*, or in relaxed British speech *fit*. Use those.
英式粗俗俚語，男人用來把女性當成「可看的貨色」來講，語感接近「馬子、辣妹（帶物化、輕蔑）」。不可數，這正是它冒犯的地方——把人講成一團「貨」。認得就好，千萬別用；要說某人有魅力，講 attractive、good-looking 就好。
組成Probably from *tot*, an old word for a small child or a small thing, later stretched to mean a girl and then used in this crude way. The path is not fully documented, so treat it as likely rather than certain.
