There are phrase in English that don't really have a direct Spanish translation. How does one handle these types of phrases?

Crank it up!
That Rocks!
Hot Stuff!
That's hot baby

and I am sure there are many other examples.

HI JOe, good question, welcome to the forum smile

You can only come close when you have this kind of slangy expressions.

Avoid them in general. Hang out with native spanish speakers and you will learn how they say them. If you try to translate it literally, you will probably be misunderstood.
