  But ‘cold’ and ‘heated’ are bad. People are weird about temperature.

      Would “hot blooded” be good or bad? 🤔

  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!
