too hot, need beer

[topaz]

It is hotter than a witch's tit out there today.   I think I'm going to stop for a beer after work.  Anyone want to join me at Cambridge Brewing Company, around 5:30pm?

*snorts coffee* I love that expression.

(Would love to, but today is my Natalie day! So, can't.)

i always heard it as "colder than a witch's tit." i admit your version accords much better with my experience.

Yes, the original version of that never made much sense to me either.

Seems like the etymology is up for (http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=309263) debate (http://www.phrases.org.uk/bulletin_board/12/messages/583.html). Which is too bad, because now I'm curious.

Parser error: Initial read "need bear." Um.

Alas, at 5:30pm I'm attending a friend's birthday dinner some 800 miles away from CBC.

Would I ever!

But I can't. 8-(

Excellent expression.

Would join you, but a bit of a hike. I miss CBC. :)
