cold fronts are simply regions of moving air that lower the current tempurature, even if it is by a few degrees, and warm fronts do the opposite.
ex - it was 90F all week, until a cold front came through a while ago, and it was only 78F. the air is still warm, but not as much as it was.

nahh, there are both at all times of year..
warm and cold when talking about weather fronts refers to the relative temperature of "new" air thats being blown into an area, if its cooler you have a clod front, if its warmer you have a warm front.
its the relative temperature thats important, since that defines which air stays on the ground and which gets pushed up into the atmosphere

That is what you call a misnomer. It was coined in that way because of some reason but it does not need to follow something literal. And besides, if everything were taken literally, we lose the value that it gives us. Just like when we take the law literally, we forget that it was made for the common good.

a cold front is simply a mass of air that is colder than the one presently in that location
