Ice cold insult. Sick burn.
"You warm up the ice! It's the best of both worlds!"
See also "they have a hot head" vs "they have a hot body/face"
Would "hot blooded" be good or bad? 🤔
I guess if your temperature is 103 then it's bad, unless you're a Foreigner.
And sizzling is good.
Yet, some of my favorite communities are Mildly Interesting and Mildly Infuriating.
You can be both down for something, and up for it at the same time
There is a quote I like by famous character actor and certified psychopath Klaus Kinski who once said to his audience (translation mine):
If only you were hot! Or if only you were cold! But you are lukewarm, and I spit on you!
But lukewarm and mid isn't.
And when I blow hot one minute and cold the next, suddenly everyone has a problem with it :(
What's the word for something in the middle? Tepid?
These days, it's "mid".
Lukewarm, chilly…
But then we also don't like people too far from average.
People are cool and hot but bodies are cold or warm
Made me think of this YouTube video :) Also check out the comments for more examples.
