Get hot man — capital! (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

baghdad

'capital' is the definition.
(Baghdad is an example)

'get hot man' is the wordplay.
'get' becomes 'bag'.
'hot' becomes 'h' (abbreviation eg on taps).
'man' becomes 'dad' (I have seen 'Old man' mean 'dad' so perhaps 'man' could also mean 'dad').
'bag'+'h'+'dad'='BAGHDAD'

(Other definitions for baghdad that I've seen before include "Iraqi capital" , "Capital of Iraq" , "capital abroad" , "city abroad" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
