Why is the saying
"colder than a witch's tit"?
When it's cold
outside, my toes are the first to let me know. Then my fingers. Ears. And of
course lungs and nostril hairs. My teats are snugly warm under layers and
layers of clothes. And a big fuzzy coat.
Even if we're saying
that a witch is a woman with a huge green nose (like Witch Hazel from the
Looney Tunes) - surely that nose was sticking out much further into the frigid
air than her breasts. Which are also happily covered with cloth. Warm black
wool cloth. And most likely a shawl.
Let us officially
change the terminology, please. We may say it is colder than a witch's nose
hairs.
Cuz it surely is,
right now. Colder than a witch's anything.
Especially as all
sensible witches are tucked inside with hot toddies and a good book.
I hope you have a warm day!
