Let's look closer at the slang thirsty. T-H-I-R-S-T-Y.

Thirsty in this sentence means want badly. Imagine you are really hot because it is hot outside. You would wish to have water. Well, in this slang way that we are using it, it means to want something that is not water very much.

So sometimes, you will hear, 'Don't be so thirsty for him or her.'

Which means stop wanting them so badly or almost like begging someone that you want them. That is being thirsty for someone.
