August 25, 2001 :: "Temperature"

The scale is one through ten, with ten being the hottest.

1. Colder than a witch’s tit I have no idea who decided witches’ breasts were so cold. I’m sure most Wiccans will beg to differ.
   
2. Stone-cold Not to be confused with the WWF wrestler.
   
3. Cold enough to freeze the tail off a brass monkey I think this phrase is so visual that commentary is unnecessary.
   
4. Cool as a cucumber Cucumbers contain miraculous refrigeration properties that other vegetables lack.
   
5. Nippy Walking through the frozen food section makes one nippy.
   
6. Tepid Beer at a party that you have neglected in favor of hitting on someone becomes tepid.
   
7. Shit-hot Steaming. Umm... I’ll just stop here.
   
8. Hotter than blazes It has been determined by Michele that since Hell contains blazes, it must be hotter than blazes.
   
9. Hotter than Hell Not the KISS album.
   
10. Hot as a mother-fucker ’Nuff said.

It's not "nippy". That refers to little microwave dogs. It's
"Nipply", as those are what become apparent when you walk through the freezer section. By Sherri :: August 25, 2001 11:02 PM EST

Amy: Uhh thanks for sharing.
Sherri: I debated over writing it that way. I try to keep abreast of slang usage. I feel like such a boob for missing that. By Davezilla :: August 26, 2001 08:58 AM EST
