Between Warm and Cold is Lukewarm but there isn't any word for in between Warm and Hot. amirite?

Lukewarm is about body temperature. Warm is just hot but tolerable. Freezing -> Cold -> Cool -> Lukewarm -> Warm -> Hot -> Scalding -> Burning In terms of how I'd describe temperatures experienced on my skin

Lukewarm is about anything that is lukewarm. It is not exclusively applied to body temperature.

Heh. By "about" body temperature here I mean around body temperature. 😆

I would say it should be called Vaderwarm.

You're on the right track, but imo it has to be Leiahot.

I wish there was a way to quantify heat.

From what I've seen, lukewarm is warmed up from cold, but not all the way. Room temp is something hot that has cooled down as much as it will without refrigeration.

I believe it's called "just right"

Between warm and too hot is monkey hot, as you get into a monkey hot bath it's 'ooh ooh ooh' as you adjust to the heat, then settle in

Who needs a word for in between? Just call it 'room temperature salsa.'

by Anonymous 1 year ago

Mild or spicy salsa?

Yes there is, simmering. Literally means under a boil, but too hot to touch, this would be the middle ground between warm and hot

That sounds hot to me. Above 46 I would consider hot, unless there are context clues; for example talking about computer components. for something like bathwater / tap water then 46 is definitely hot.

Hot > warm > lukewarm/tepid > cool > cold. How hard is that to understand?

You have actually made my point even more with that list! According to that flow chart, there are actually 2 words in between warm and cold. Lukewarm, and cool. But there is NOTHING in between warm and hot, but there is clearly steps within that area that are warmer than warm, but not quite hot yet. That's the word I'm searching for.

This is the same as saying there isn't any word between cool and cold.

What's cooler than being cool?

by Anonymous 1 year ago

Ice cool 😎

Finally, a word to describe that awkward temperature when my coffee is left untouched for an hour!

I saw Vaderwarm, but I'd go Leiawarm.

How about lukehot? I guess that brings into question what lukecold would be but eh who cares

by Anonymous 1 year ago

I call it coffee temp

Balmy, toasty, simmering, muggy

Isn't the word temperate, or mild?
