This reminds me that every time I say, "It's cold as hell," that it's inaccurate. But people say it all the time.

Then again, I've never been there so maybe it is really cold instead of really hot! Either extreme would be hellish!

"Why are they called "stands" when they are made for sitting?" That one always puzzled me, even as a kid.
