Idioms and phrases would be great. No cliches. It can also refer to it, like hell's kitchen or scolded. All temperatues: hot, cold, cool, warm/lukewarm. This is for research for my main character's catch phrases for my novel. Have fun. The most in the list wins hands down.

I'm not quite sure I know what you're looking for. Like in hotter than a cowhand's branding iron? Frigid as an igloo? Warm as an Icelandic spring? Icier than winter's fingers? Warm as the first breath of spring, kind of stuff? Hotter that an overheated engine? Colder than a dead dog? Fiery, flaming, insults spewing off her long ago scalded tongue, freezing and splitting my once fiery passionate heart like shards of glass suddenly caught in an ice age, kind of stuff? Or basking in his warmth as an adoring beach sun godess? Or icily, as in distancing yourself or being wary kind of thing? Gimme an example of what you're looking for please, 'cause it sounds fun. Fire could mean searing, charcoaled, inferno, combustion, backdraft, raging wildfire, high voltage, etc.

FIRE causes the TEMPERATURE to rise, where as the ICE does exactly the OPPOSITE.
