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.

If only you were hot! Or if only you were cold! But you are lukewarm, and I spit on you!

These days, it's "mid".
Lukewarm, chilly…

Made me think of this YouTube video :) Also check out the comments for more examples.

People are cool and hot but bodies are cold or warm
