I'd say hot and cool are mutually exclusive. Here is the proof:

Consider a normal temperature Tn. Then 'hot' obviously fullfill the condition Thot >> Tn. We also have Tcold < Tcool <Tn. By axiom a>b>c -> a>c. Thus Tcool <<Thot . Obviously now, as (by the way I defined the variables) Thot is the lowest hot point and Tcool the highest cool temp, the sets do not overlap. QED


Excellent reasoning, but you're not being idiomatic enough. If I remember correctly, this use of "cool" started with African-American musicians in Harlem circa the 1920s. They used to call a "hot" performer "hot," but when all the squares from the rest of the city started using "hot" to describe performers, they started calling people "cool" so they knew who was an insider and who was a square.

I don't know what they started calling people when the squares stole "cool" as well.

So in one sense, the set of Cool Things and the set of Hot Things could be identical.

nice historical search! Do you have some source on the web about that?

where did you get that info, or are you just like 90 years old rofl

 


Duffer1965

I'm not even half of 90, but getting closer.

I can't remember exactly where I learned that, but I think it was probably in a documentary about jazz that I saw 10 or 15 years ago.

Hot or Cool? Either way would be fine with me :)

As to b2 or not b2, don't you remember the story of the old man on his deathbed lifting himself up and calling his children closer. They all ushered near, wanting to hear what was so important. He whispered, "Promise me that you will never take the b-pawn". :)

COOL chicks ARE hot... Hot CHICKS think THEY are COOL!

really a nice forum! it's difficult to fight the last statements. Because the definitions of the (so often used!!!) words 'hot' and 'cool' are in fact not precise.

maniac2008

And on the other side: Naomi Campbell

maniac2008

ok then ...

mandelshtam

yes, according to the definition of 'cool', to which most here agreed (socially accepted, smart, funny), Naomi campbell is hot but not cool.

maniac2008

ok ... each for their own ... i no loads of people that are 'hot' but they have personalities like an elephants ass ... lol ...

mandelshtam

your last words in everyone's ear!

But we are men, and when a sexy (may be stupid, but we don't care) girl comes along in MacDonald's, alone, with high heels, we start whistling....

Penelope Cruz, Martha Argerich (pianist from Argentina), Maria Callas, Bruno Ganz (actor from Switzerland),...  have both.

 

I remember a nice anecdote by Bertolt Brecht:

Mr. K. and his friend were sitting in a cafe, when an actress, accompanied by some noisy people from the theatre and newspapers swarmed in.

"She is successful, beautiful she is beautiful" the friend said. Mr.K.  replied:

"No, she is beautiful, because she had success."

sorry I misspelled the first sentence in the anecdote above:

" She is successful, because she is beautiful."

ok then ... well i suppose you can have a hot and cool girl ... but i find in real life .. it may be rare 2 find someone who is cool because she is hot ... i think 4 someone 2 be classed as hot ... then it should have somethin 2 do with her personality... but that may b just what girls think ... or i think lol ...

i can think it applies 2 men aswell... i dont think a guy is hot if he has a bad personality ... yeah he may b goodlookin but when he aint got a personality then what the point??
